Subject: Lyr Add: PROMISED LAND (Chuck Berry)
Promised Land by Chuck Berry
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind Straddled that greyhound, rode him past Raleigh On across Caroline
Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill And we never was a minute late We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle Half way 'cross Alabam And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown Birmingham
