Promise LandI think I'll quit my job today Sell what I can give the rest away This broken promise life I'm leading Just ain't giving me what I'm needing You see I'm hanging by a thread I've got these voices inside my head And every one of them sounds like you So I know just what I'm gonna do Chorus: I've got me a brand new plan And I don't give a good Goddamn The walls are closing in on me I've seen all I need to see I'm gonna go as fast as I can Straight towards the promise land I've always wanted to be a travellin' man Mama your baby's gonna be a travellin' man Maybe when enough miles pass by I'll stop somewhere along the roadside Hear the coyote's sad, mournful howl And know just what he's talking about I'll lie down underneath the stars Count my regrets and the passing cars I'll hear that lonesome whippoorwill And I'll know exactly how he feels Bridge: Take my love and put it on the shelf Take my love and put it on the shelf Cause I am an orphan now I don't need nobody else Chorus: I've got me a brand new plan And I don't give a good Goddamn The walls are closing in on me I've seen all I need to see I'm gonna go as fast as I can Straight towards the promise land I've always wanted to be a travellin' man Mama your baby's gonna be a travellin' man Mama your baby's gonna be a travellin' man Copyright Kent Newsome All Rights Reserved |
