Promised Land

歌詞

Driving all the way down to New Orleans Singing songs noone will ever hear As the birds were flying by we heard them calling There's a place of our souls nearby the sea Take me down to the ocean, to the promised land All the dreams we had would finally come true When I come back to my home town I won't be the same I'll be empty, I'll be missing All the beauty I once knew From Memphis down to Jackson, Mississippi We were heading for the Gulf of Mexico Every hour we would pass another city Seeing places we have never seen before As the moon rose over endless land We stopped to get some sleep And the stars above were telling us Some secrets we will keep Take me down to the ocean … Like the rivers to the sea, We would flow and still believe, We would find our destination Then a bird upon a tree Sang a Song of Cedar Key And he led us to the place And it's harmony and grace Took our hearts and let them stay forever Take me down to the ocean …
