[00:00.00]The Promised Land (Album Version) - Meat Loaf (密特·劳弗)
[00:11.32]I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
[00:13.76]California on my mind
[00:16.82]I straddled that greyhound
[00:18.13]And rode him into Raleigh
[00:19.57]And on across Caroline
[00:21.56]
[00:22.29]I had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
[00:24.91]Halfway across Alabama
[00:27.40]And that 'Hound broke down and left me
[00:29.79]All stranded in Downtown Birmingham
[00:32.44]
[00:33.25]Right away I bought me a through train ticket
[00:35.70]Ridin' across Mississippi clean
[00:38.32]And I was on the Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham
[00:41.39]Smokin' into New Orleans
[00:43.47]
[00:44.09]Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana
[00:46.53]Just to help me get to Houston Town
[00:49.24]There are people there who care a little 'bout me
[00:52.32]And they won't let a poor boy down
[00:54.93]
[01:07.24]Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit
[01:09.92]They put luggage in my hand
[01:11.86]
[01:12.55]And I woke up high over Albuquerque
[01:15.12]On a jet to the Promised Land
[01:17.37]
[01:18.12]Workin' on a T-bone steak
[01:19.72]I had a party flyin' over to the Golden State
[01:23.23]When the pilot told me in thirteen minutes
[01:26.17]He would get us at the Terminal zone
[01:28.54]
[01:29.11]Swing low chariot come down easy
[01:31.80]Taxi to the Terminal zone
[01:33.68]
[01:34.37]Cut your engines and cool your wings
[01:37.06]And let me make it to the telephone
[01:39.77]Los Angeles give me Norfolk
[01:42.08]Virginia Tidewater 41009
[01:45.02]And tell the folks back home
[01:46.40]This is the Promised Land calling
[01:47.97]And the poor boy's on the line
[01:50.04]
[01:52.23]Swing low chariot come down easy
[01:55.00]Taxi to the Terminal zone
[01:56.93]
[01:57.68]Cut your engines and cool your wings
[02:00.09]And let me make it to the telephone
[02:02.94]Los Angeles give me Norfolk
[02:05.40]Virginia Tidewater 41009
[02:08.22]And tell the folks back home
[02:09.64]This is the Promised Land calling
[02:10.96]And the poor boy's on the line
[02:13.54]And tell the folks back home
[02:15.11]This is the Promised Land calling
[02:16.49]And their big boy's on the line
