face the promise

i've been down in the delta workin' these fields

breakin my back

i need a better deal

so long mississippi

so long alabam

i want to face the promise of the promised land

i've got fevered dreams

mighty plans

i need a black top road

i need a wheel in my hands

so long arizona

so long desert sands

i need to face the promise of the promised land

i'm tired of this river

these nothin' nights

i'm small towned out

i need city lights

so long allegany

so long olean

i need to face the promise of the promised land

i'll need a world of changes

i need a

brand new space

i need an eldorado

that's got to be someplace

there's a line inside i think i've crossed

you better watch out now i'm gonna

be my own boss

so long massachusetts

so long framingham

i need to face the promise of the promised land

so long north dakota you must understand

i need to face the promise of the promised land
