she got great expectations
down in louisianne
she got great expectations
down in louisianne
to leave her trailer park
the natives call the promise land
she said "please baby please now
come just as quick as you can"
she said "please baby please now
come just as quick as you can
and rescue me
away from the promise land"
now many a country mile
i'm poundin' under my van
yeah many a country mile
i'm poundin' under my van
so i don't break my word
i'm bound for the promise land
now when you pack your bags babe
don't forget your travelin' fan
now when you pack your bags
don't forget your travelin' fan
we're gonna blow tonight
out of the promise land
