EN

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
