Face the promise

I've been down in the Delta
workin' these fields
Breakin my back,
I need a better deal
So long Mississippi,
so long Alabam
I want to face the promise
of the Promised Land

I've got fevered dreams,
mighty plans
I need a black top road,
I need a wheel in my hands
So long Arizona,
so long desert sands
I need to face the promise
of the Promised Land

I'm tired of this river,
these nothin' nights
I'm small towned out,
I need city lights
So long Allegany,
so long Olean
I need to face the promise
of the Promised Land
I'll need a world of changes,
I need a brand new space
I need an Eldorado,
that's got to be someplace
There's a line inside
I think I've crossed
You better watch out now
I'm gonna be my own boss
So long Massachusetts,
so long Framingham
I need to face the promise
of the Promised Land
So long North Dakota
you must understand
I need to face the promise
of the Promised Land
