[00:00.00]Lyrics：C.Berry Music：C.Berry
[00:11.70]I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
[00:12.66]California on my mind
[00:16.80]I straddled that greyhound and rode it into Raleigh
[00:19.80]And on across Caroline
[00:22.53]We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
[00:24.84]Halfway across Alabama
[00:27.48]And that `Hound broke down and left us all
[00:29.82]Stranded in Downtown Birmingham
[00:33.48]Right away I bought me a through train ticket
[00:35.76]Ridin' across Mississippi clean
[00:39.12]And I was on the Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham
[00:41.52]Smokin' into New Orleans
[00:44.22]Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana
[00:46.77]Just to help me get to Houston Town
[00:49.56]There are people there who care a little about me
[00:52.32]And they won't let a poor boy down
[00:53.25]Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit
[01:10.32]They got luggage in my hand
[01:14.43]And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the Promised Land
[01:18.42]Workin' on a T-bone steak
[01:20.61]I had a party flying over to the Golden State
[01:23.49]When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
[01:26.70]He would get us at the Terminal zone
[01:38.07]Swing low, chariot, come down easy
[01:55.53]Taxi to the Terminal line
[01:56.79]Cut your engines and cool your wings
[02:00.75]And let me make it to the telephone
[02:02.91]Los Angeles, give me Norfolk, Virginia Tidewater 41009
[02:09.39]Tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land callin'
[02:11.76]and the poor boy's on the line
