Promised Land!

Made Famous By. ELWS PRESLEY

(Q www.singtotheworld.com

I left my home in

Norfolk. Virginia.
California on my mind.

I straddled that
greyhound and rode

into Raleigh and on
across Caroline.

We had motor trouble
that turn into a struggle
halfway across Alabam'.

That hound
broke down and left

us all stranded in
downtown Birmingham.

Right away you
brought me a through
train ticket ridin' across

Mississippi clean.

I was on that
midnight flyer out of

Birmingham, smoking
into New Orleans.

There are people there
who care a little about

me and they won't let
the poor boy down.

Sure as you're born
brought me a silk suit

put the luggage in
my hand.

And I woke up high over
Albuquerque on a jet
to the promised land.

Working on a T-bone
steak a la carte flying

over to the golden state.

Ah when the pilot told

us in thirteen minutes

he would set us at the
terminal gate.

Swing low
chariot come down

easy, taxi to the
terminal zone.

Cut your engines
and cool your wings

and let me make it
to the telephone.

Los Angeles, give
me Norfolk, Virginia

Tidewater four
ten 0 nine.

Tell the folks back
home this is the

promised land calling

and the poor boy is on
the line.

Right away you brought
me a through train
ticket ridin' across
Mississippi clean.

I was on that
midnight flyer out of

Birmingham, smoking
into New Orleans.

Somebody help me get
out of Louisiana just

to help me get to
Houston Town.

And I woke up high
over Albuquerque on a
jet to the promised land.

Working on a T-bone

steak a la carte flying
over to the golden state.

Ah, when the pilot told

us in thirteen minutes

he would set us at the
terminal gate.

Swing low
chariot come down

easy, taxi to the
terminal zone.

Cut your engines and
cool your wings and

let me make it to
the telephone.

Los Angeles, give
me Norfolk, Virginia

Tidewater four
ten 0 nine.

Tell the folks back

home this is the
promised land calling

and the poor boy is
on the line.
