Testo Promised Land - Neil Nathan
Testo della canzone Promised Land (Neil Nathan), tratta dall'album Promised Land
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound and rode it into Raleigh
And on across Caroline
We stopped in Charlotte, but bypassed Rock Hill
We never was a minute late
We were 90 minutes out of Atlanta by sundown
Rolling outta Georgia state
The promised land is calling
The promised land is calling today
The promised land is calling
The promised land, get out of our way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Halfway across Alabam' (doo-doo-doo)
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded (doo-doo, doo-doo)
In downtown Birmingham (doo-doo-doo)
Right away, I bought me a through train ticket (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Riding on Mississippi clean (doo-doo-doo, oh-oh)
I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Smoking into New Orleans (doo-doo-doo, whoa-whoa)
The promised land is calling
The promised land is calling today
The promised land is calling
The promised land, get out of our way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Help me get to Houston town (doo-doo-doo)
There are people there who care a little 'bout me (doo-doo, doo-doo)
And they won't let this poor boy down (doo-doo-doo)
Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Put luggage in my hand (doo-doo-doo, oh-oh)
And I woke up high over Albuquerque (doo-doo, doo-doo)
On a jet to the promised land (doo-doo-doo, whoa-whoa-oh)
The promised land is calling
The promised land is calling today
The promised land is calling
The promised land, get out of our way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Working on a T-bone steak à la carte (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Flying over to the Golden State (doo-doo-doo, oh)
When the pilot told us 13 minutes (doo-doo, doo-doo)
He would set us at the terminal gate (doo-doo-doo)
Swing low chariot, come down easy (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Taxi to the terminal zone (doo-doo-doo, oh)
Cut your engines, cool your wings (doo-doo, doo-doo)
And let me make it to the telephone (doo-doo-doo)
Los Angeles, give me Norfolk, Virginia
Tidewater 4-10-0-9
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy's on the line (hey, hey, hey, hey)
The promised land is calling
The promised land is calling today
The promised land is calling
The promised land, get out of our way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The promised land is calling
The promised land is calling today
The promised land is calling
The promised land, get out of our way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
