The Promised Land - Dave Edmunds
Left my home in norfolk virginia
California on my mind

Straddled that greyhound rode him past raleigh
On across caroline

Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill
And we never was a minute late

We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown
Rollin' 'cross the georgia state

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle
Half way 'cross alabam

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown birmingham

Straight off I bought me a through train ticket

Ridin' cross mississippi clean

And I was on that midnight flier out of birmingham
Smoking into new orleans

Somebody help me get out of louisiana
Just help me get to houston town

There's people there who care a little 'bout me
And they won't let the poor boy down

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hands

And I woke up high over albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land

Workin' on a t bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state

The pilot told me in thirteen minutes
We'd be headin' in the terminal gate

Swing low sweet chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone

Cut your engines cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin
And the poor boy's on the line
