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
