The Promised Land

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desertI pick up my money and head back into townDriving cross the Waynesboro county lineI got the radio on and I'm just killing timeWorking all day in my daddy's garageDriving all night chasing some miragePretty soon little girl I'm gonna take chargeCHORUS:The dogs on Main Street holw 'cause they understandIf I could take one moment into my handsMister I ain't a boy no I'm a manAnd I believe in a promised landI've done my best to live the right wayI get up every morning and go to work each dayBut your eyes go blind and your blood runs coldSometimes I feel so weak I just want to explodeExplode and tear this town apartTake a knife and cut this pain from my heartFind somebody itching for something to startCHORUS:The dogs on Main Street holw 'cause they understandIf I could take one moment into my handsMister I ain't a boy no I'm a manAnd I believe in a promised landThere's a dark cloud rising from the desert floorI packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the stormGonna be a twister to blow everything downThat ain't got the faith to stand its groundBlow away the dreams that tear you apartBlow away the dreams that break your heartBlow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenheartedCHORUS:The dogs on Main Street holw 'cause they understandIf I could take one moment into my handsMister I ain't a boy no I'm a manAnd I believe in a promised land
