[Verse]
CI left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my Fmind I G7straddled that Greyhound and Rode him into Raleigh and on across CaroCline
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle
Half way across AlaFbam And that G7'Hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown BirmingCham
Right away I bought me a through train ticket
Riding across Mississippi Fclean And I was G7on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham Smoking into New OrCleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just help me get to Houston Ftown There are G7people there who care a little about me And they won't let a poor boy Cdown
Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit
They put luggage in my Fhands And I G7woke up high over Albuquerque On a jet to the promised Cland
We stopped at Charlotte we by passed Rock Hill
We never was a minute Flate We was G7ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown Rolling out of Georgia Cstate
Working on a T-bone steak
I had a party flying over to the golden Fstate When the G7pilot told us that in thirteen minutes He would get us to the terminal Cgate
Swing Low Chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal Fdoor G7Cut your engines and cool you wings And let me make it to the teleCphone
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
Tidewater -1 - -9F Tell the G7folks back home this is the promised land Calling and the boy's on the Cline
