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
