The Promised Land

 
              Intro: (Harmonica) G   C G  Em C    G 
 
On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert 
     G                           Em 
I pick up my money and head back into town 
  C                                   G 
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line 
                                Em 
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time 
          C                             G 
Working all day in my daddy's garage 
Em                    G 
Driving all night chasing some mirage 
Em                        Am 
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge 
C                             D7 
 
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand 
   G                                    C    G 
If I could take one moment into my hands 
           Em       C              G 
Mister I ain't a boy,  no I'm a man 
                          C     G 
And I believe in a promised land 
    Em  C                   G 
I've done my best to live the right way 
I get up every morning 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 town apart 
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart 
Find somebody itching for something to start 
 
The dogs on Main Street... 
 
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 lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted 
 
The dogs on Main Street... 
...Promised Land, and I believe in the Promised Land, and I believe 
     G         Em  C  G   Em  C 
in the Promised Land.
