[00:03.85]I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
[00:06.28]California on my mind
[00:08.31]
[00:08.91]I straddled that greyhound and rode him into Raleigh
[00:11.81]And on across Caroline
[00:13.37]
[00:14.79]We stopped in Charlotte we bypassed rock hill
[00:17.26]We never was a minute late
[00:19.06]
[00:19.76]We was 90 miles out of Atlanta by sundown
[00:22.89]Rolling out of Georgia state
[00:24.65]
[00:25.91]We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
[00:28.35]Halfway across Alabama
[00:30.33]
[00:31.16]And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
[00:33.97]In downtown Birmingham
[00:36.08]
[00:48.49]Right away I bought me a through train ticket
[00:50.95]Crisscross Mississippi clean
[00:53.16]
[00:53.71]And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
[00:56.97]Smoking into new Orleans
[00:58.96]
[00:59.82]Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
[01:02.35]Just help me get to Houston town
[01:04.65]
[01:05.28]There are people there who care a little about me
[01:07.98]And they won't let the poor boy down
[01:10.35]
[01:11.42]Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit
[01:13.99]And put luggage in my hands
[01:16.11]
[01:16.61]And I woke up high over Albuquerque
[01:19.48]On a jet to the promised land
[01:21.55]
[01:34.31]Working on a t bone steak a la cart
[01:36.85]Flying over to the golden state
[01:38.93]
[01:39.68]When the pilot told us in 13 minutes
[01:42.75]He would set us at the terminal gate
[01:44.83]
[01:45.94]Swing low chariot come down easy
[01:48.76]Taxi to the terminal zone
[01:50.72]
[01:51.72]Cut your engines and cool your wings
[01:54.23]And let me make it to the telephone
[01:56.51]
[01:57.72]Los angels give me Norfolk Virginia
[02:00.12]Tidewater 41009
[02:02.29]
[02:03.17]Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
[02:05.93]And the poor boy's on the line
