I've been down in the delta
Working these fields
Breaking my back
I need a better deal

So long Mississippi
So long Alabama
I want to face the promise
Of the promised land

I got the fever 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've been tired of this river
These nothing nights
I'm just small towned out
I need city lights

So long Allegany
So long Olean
I need to face the promise
Of the promised land

I need a world of change
I need a brand new space
I need an El Dorado
That's go 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

Face the promise 
Face the promise 
Face the promise 
Face the promise
