[length: 02:45]
[00:11.08]I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
[00:13.45]California on my mind
[00:16.50]I straddled that Greyhound and rode into Raleigh
[00:19.14]And on across Caroline
[00:22.19]I had motor trouble that turn into a struggle
[00:24.47]Halfway across Alabam’
[00:27.28]And that hound broke down and left me all stranded
[00:30.08]In downtown Birmingham
[00:33.20]Right away I brought me a through train ticket
[00:35.73]Ridin’ across Mississippi clean
[00:38.07]And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
[00:41.16]Smoking into New Orleans
[00:44.16]Somebody, help me get out of Louisiana
[00:46.61]Just to help me get to Houston Town
[00:49.04]A lot of people there who care a little about me
[00:52.22]And they won’t let a poor boy down
[00:57.35]
[01:07.57]Sure as you’re born brought me a silk suit
[01:10.01]And put luggage in my hand
[01:12.65]And I woke up high over Albuquerque
[01:15.28]On a jet to the Promised Land
[01:18.33]Working on a T-bone steak à la carte
[01:20.89]Flying over to the golden state
[01:23.35]When the pilot told me, “In thirteen minutes
[01:26.16]He would set us at the terminal gate”
[01:28.91]Ooh, swing low chariot come down easy
[01:32.18]Taxi to the terminal zone
[01:34.87]Cut your engines and cool your wings
[01:37.29]And let me make it to the telephone
[01:40.01]Los Angeles give me Norfolk, Virginia
[01:42.80]Tidewater, 4-10-09
[01:45.32]And tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land calling
[01:48.19]And the poor boy is on the line
[01:52.56]Swing low chariot come down easy
[01:55.32]Taxi to the terminal zone
[01:57.93]And cut your engines and cool your wings
[02:00.55]And let me make it to the telephone
[02:03.40]Los Angeles give me Norfolk, Virginia
[02:06.11]Tidewater, 4-10-09
[02:08.54]And tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land calling
[02:11.40]And the poor boy is on the line
[02:13.94]Tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land calling
[02:16.72]And the big boy is on the line
