The Promised Land - Dave Edmunds

Lyrics
words to study

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia,

California on my mind

We straddled that Greyhound, rode him into Raleigh,

On across Caroline

We stopped at Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill,

We never was a minute late.

And we was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,

Rollin' outa Georgia state.

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle,

Half way 'cross Alabam,

When that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded

In downtown Birmingham

So right away I bought me a through train ticket,

Right across Mississippi clean
