Promised Land

Driving all the way down to New Orleans

Singing songs noone will ever hear

As the birds were flying by we heard them calling

There's a place of our souls nearby the sea

Take me down to the ocean, to the promised land

All the dreams we had would finally come true

When I come back to my home town

I won't be the same

I'll be empty, I'll be missing

All the beauty I once knew

From Memphis down to Jackson, Mississippi

We were heading for the Gulf of Mexico

Every hour we would pass another city

Seeing places we have never seen before

As the moon rose over endless land

We stopped to get some sleep

And the stars above were telling us

Some secrets we will keep

Take me down to the ocean ...

Like the rivers to the sea,

We would flow and still believe,

We would find our destination

Then a bird upon a tree

Sang a Song of Cedar Key

And he led us to the place

And it's harmony and grace

Took our hearts and let them stay forever

Take me down to the ocean ...
