Promised Land Lyrics by Juicy Lucy

Pieces

0

I left my home in Northern Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound bus
And I headed straight on to North Caroline
We stopped in Southern County
We never was a minute late
Ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown
Rolling out of Georgia state
We had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle
Halfway across Alabam
The hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham
Right away, I bought me a two train ticket
Ride across the Mississippi queen
I was on that midnight flyer
Just burning and smoking down to New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Help me get to Houston Town
All those people helping me
Everyone won't put a poor boy down
Some friends I know bought me a silk suit
Put some luggage in my hands
I'm over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
Oh right away, I bought me a two train ticket
Ride across the Mississippi queen
I was on that midnight flyer
Just burning and smoking down to New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Help me get to Houston Town
All those people helping me
Everyone won't put a poor boy down
Some friends I know bought me a silk suit
Put some luggage in my hands
I woke up right over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
On a jet to the promised land
