The Promised Land |
| On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert |
| I pick up my money and head back into town |
| Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line |
| I got the radio on and I’m just killing time |
| Working all day in my daddy’s garage |
| Driving all night chasing some mirage |
| Pretty soon little girl I’m gonna take charge |
| The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand |
| If I could take one moment into my hands |
| Mister I ain’t a boy, no I’m a man |
| And I believe in a promised land |
| I’ve done my best to live the right way |
| I get up every morning and go to work each day |
| But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold |
| Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode |
| Explode and tear this whole town apart |
| Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart |
| Find somebody itching for something to start |
| The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand |
| If I could take one moment into my hands |
| Mister I ain’t a boy, no I’m a man |
| And I believe in a promised land |
| Well there’s a dark cloud rising from the desert floor |
| I packed my bags and I’m heading straight into the storm |
| Gonna be a twister to blow everything down |
| That ain’t got the faith to stand its ground |
| Blow away the dreams that tear you apart |
| Blow away the dreams that break your heart |
| Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted |
| The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand |
| If I could take one moment into my hands |
| Mister I ain’t a boy, no I’m a man |
| And I believe in a promised land |
