Song | The Promised Land |
Artist | Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band |
Album | Live 1975-85 |
Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
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 | |
(Chorus) | |
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 | |
(Chorus) | |
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 | |
(Chorus) | |
I believe in a promised land... |
