The Promised Land

On a rattlesnake freeway in the Utah desert I pick up my money and head back into town Drivin' cross the Waynesboro County Line I got the radio on, and I'm just killin' time Workin' all day in my daddy's garage Drivin' all night chasin' some mirage Pretty soon little girl, I'm gonna take charge The dogs on Main Street howl 'Cause they understand If I could take one moment into my hands Mister, I ain't a boy, No, I'm a man And I believe in a Promised Land I've done my best to live the right way I get up every mornin' and go to work each day But your eyes go blind, and your blood runs cold Sometimes I feel so weak, I just want to explode Explode and tear this whole town apart Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart Find somebody itching for something to start The dogs on Main Street howl 'Cause they understand If I could take one moment into my hands Mister, I ain't a boy, No, I'm a man And I believe in a Promised Land There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor I packed my bags, and I'm heading straight into the storm Gonna be a twister to blow everything down That ain't got the faith to stand its ground Blow away the dreams that tear you apart Blow away the dreams that break your heart Blow away the lives that leave you nothin' but lost and brokenhearted The dogs on Main Street howl 'Cause they understand If I could take one moment into my hands Mister, I ain't a boy, No, I'm a man And I believe in a Promised Land I believe in a Promised Land
