Karaoké Promised Land Elvis Presley

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

California on my mind

I straddled that Greyhound and rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline

We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle halfway 'cross Alabam'

And that hound broke down and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham

Right away I brought me a through train ticket ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean

I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham smoking into New Orleans

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

Just to help me get to Houston Town

There are people there who care a little 'bout me

And they won't let the poor boy down

Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit put luggage in my hand

And I woke up high over Alberquerque on a jet to the promised land

Working on a T-bone steak a la carte flying over to the golden state

The pilot told us in thirteen minutes

He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy taxi to the terminal zone

Cut your engines and cool your wings

And let me make it to the telephone

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater four ten o nine

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling and the poor boy is on the line

Working on a T-bone steak a la carte flying over to the golden state

The pilot told us in thirteen minutes

He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy taxi to the terminal zone

Cut your engines and cool your wings

And let me make it to the telephone

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater four ten o nine

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling and the poor boy is on the line
