I LEFT MY HOME IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA
CCALIFORNIA ON MY MIND
DI BOARDED THAT GREYHOUND,
RODE IN INTO RALIEGH ON ACROSS CAROLINE
GSTOPPED IN CHARLOTTE TO BY PASS ROCKHILL
CWE NEVER WAS A MINUTE LATE
WE WERE NINTY MILES OUT OF ATLANTA BY SUNDOWN
GROLLIN' OUT OF GEORGIA STATE
GWE HAD MOTOR TROUBLE THAT TURNED INTO A STRUGGLE
HALFWAY ACROSS ALABAM
DAND THAT BOW BROKE DOWN
GAND LEFT US STRANDED IN DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM
RIGHT AWAY I BOUGHT A THROUGH TRAIN TICKET
CGOT ACROSS MISSISSIPPI CLEAN
DAND I WAS ON THAT MIDNIGHT FLYER OUT OF BIRMINGHAM
SMOKIN' INTO NEW ORLEANS
GSOMEBODY HELP ME GET OUT OF LOUISIANA
CHELP ME GET TO HOUSTON TOWN

THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE WHO CARE A LITTLE 'BOUT ME
GAND WON'T PUT THE POOR BOY DOWN
GEORGIA BORN, THEY BOUGHT ME A SILK SUIT
CAND PUT LUGGAGE IN MY HAND
DAND WOKE UP HIGH OVER ALBUQUERQUE
ON A JET TO THE PROMISED LAND
GWORKIN' ON A T-BONE ALA CARTEE
CFLYIN' OVER TO THE GOLDEN STATE
WHEN THE PILOT TOLD US IN THIRTEEN MINUTES
GHE WOULD SET US AT THE TERMINAL GATE
GSWING LOW CHARIOT, COME DOWN EASY
TAXI TO THE TERMINAL DOOR
DCUT YOUR ENGINES AND COOL YOUR WINGS
GAND LET ME MAKE IT TO THE TELEPHONE
LOS ANGELES, GIVE ME NORFLOK VIRGINIA
CTIDEWATER FOUR TEN O NINE

IT'S THE PROMISED LAND CALLIN'
GAND THE POOR BOY IS ON THE LINE
