| [00:00.000] | 作词 : Chuck Berry |
| [00:01.000] | 作曲 : Chuck Berry |
| [00:11.380] | Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia California on my mind |
| [00:18.784] | Straddled that Greyhound and rode it into Raleigh and on across Caroline |
| [00:26.158] | We stopped in Charlotte |
| [00:27.297] | But we bypassed Rockhill we never was a minute late |
| [00:33.275] | We were ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown |
| [00:37.423] | Rolling out of Georgia state |
| [00:40.802] | Had some motor trouble that turned into a struggle half way 'cross Alabam |
| [00:48.253] | That hound broke and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham |
| [00:55.715] | So right away I bought me a through train ticket right across Mississippi clean |
| [01:02.800] | And I was on that Special Flyer out of Birmingham smoking into New Orleans |
| [01:27.320] | Someone's got to help me get out of Louisiana |
| [01:30.399] | Just to help me get to Houston town |
| [01:34.527] | There's an uncle there who cares a little about me |
| [01:37.967] | And he won't let the poor boy down |
| [01:42.125] | Sure as you're born |
| [01:43.675] | He bought me a silk suit |
| [01:45.971] | Put some luggage in my hand |
| [01:49.060] | And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the Promised Land |
| [01:57.118] | Working on a T-Bone steak |
| [01:59.615] | A la carte flying over to the Golden State |
| [02:04.008] | When the pilot told us that in thirteen minutes |
| [02:07.771] | He would have us at the terminal gate |
| [02:11.846] | Swing down chariot |
| [02:13.816] | Come down easy |
| [02:15.902] | Taxi to the terminal dome |
| [02:19.598] | Cut your engines |
| [02:21.193] | And cool your wings and let me make it to the telephone |
| [02:26.914] | Los Angeles give me Norfolk, Virginia tidewater four-ten-O-nine |
| [02:33.718] | Tell the folks back home |
| [02:35.610] | This is the Promised Land calling and the poor boy is on the line |
