Lyrics

[00:10.74] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
[00:13.12] California on my mind
[00:16.00] I straddled that Greyhound
[00:17.24] And rode on into Raleigh
[00:18.43] And on across Caroline
[00:21.18] We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
[00:23.62] Halfway across Alabam
[00:26.12] Well that hound broke down and left us all stranded
[00:28.93] In downtown Birmingham
[00:30.99]
[00:31.87] Right away I brought me a through train ticket
[00:34.31] Ridin' across Mississippi clean
[00:36.00]
[00:36.74] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
[00:39.62] Smoking into New Orleans
[00:41.31]
[00:42.87] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
[00:44.99] Just to help me get to Houston Town
[00:46.81]
[00:47.74] There are people there who care a little about me
[00:50.43] And they won't let the poor boy down
[00:54.07]
[01:07.96] Sure as your born they bought me a silk suit
[01:10.34] Put luggage in my hand
[01:11.78]
[01:12.78] And I woke up high over Albuquerque
[01:15.09] On a jet to the promised land
[01:16.84]
[01:18.15] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
[01:20.53] Flying over to the golden state
[01:21.84]
[01:22.90] Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
[01:24.84]
[01:25.84] He would set us at the terminal gate
[01:27.60]
[01:28.79] Swing low chariot come down easy
[01:30.98] Taxi to the terminal zone
[01:32.67]
[01:33.98] Cut your engines and cool your wings
[01:36.29] And let me make it to the telephone
[01:37.98]
[01:39.23] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
[01:41.42] Tidewater four ten o nine
[01:43.17]
[01:44.29] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
[01:47.04] And the poor boy is on the line
[01:49.36]
[02:01.92] Right away I brought me a through train ticket
[02:04.10] Ridin' across Mississippi clean
[02:05.60]
[02:06.60] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
[02:09.16] Smoking into New Orleans
[02:10.91]
[02:12.10] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
[02:14.67] Just to help me get to Houston Town
[02:16.54]
[02:17.16] There are people there who care a little about me
[02:19.85] And they won't let the poor boy down
[02:22.10]
[02:22.79] Sure as your born they bought me a silk suit
[02:25.35] Put luggage in my hand
[02:27.48] And I woke up high over Albuquerque
[02:30.29] On a jet to the promised land
[02:32.41]
[02:33.16] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
[02:35.54] Flying over to the golden state
[02:38.23] Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
[02:40.85] He would set us at the terminal gate
[02:43.66] Swing low chariot come down easy
[02:45.91] Taxi to the terminal zone

[02:51.04] And let me make it to the telephone
[02:54.16] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
[02:56.54] Tidewater four ten o nine
[02:59.29] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
[03:01.66] And the poor boy is on the line
[03:07.23]
