The Promised Land
Ridin' down to Memphis on a cold and dusty train.
Got nothin' in my pockets,
all I own is just my name.
Feelin' kinda hungry,
and my clothes look awful bad.
But I got to go see my baby,
and I'm gonna be mighty glad...
To get back to the promised land,
yeah, got to make it any way I can.
Just got to taste that milk and honey one more time, yeah.
She's gonna take me by the hand,
make me feel like a new born man.
When I get back to my baby in the promised land.
Thumbed a ride to 'Frisco, hopped a train to Santa Fe.
'Cause every morning there's a memory
keeps me movin' on my way.
Got a special place I'm goin', someone's waiting there for me.
And it's worth it all just knowin'
just how good it's a-gonna be...
To get back to the promised land,
yeah, got to make it any way I can.
Just got to taste that milk and honey one more time, yeah.
She's gonna take me by the hand,
make me feel like a new born man.
When I get back to my baby in the promised land.
Yeah.... to get back to the promised land,
yeah, got to make it any way I can.
Just got to taste that milk and honey one more time, yeah.
She's gonna take me by the hand, make me feel like a new born man.
When I get back to my baby in the promised land.
Yeah... to get back to the promised land...
