Promised Land (Live)

Danny wants to be a big man Head out into the promised land He's not sure, where he's going Or what that means Jeanne wants to be a big star She headed out in her daddy's car To a future that she don't know And she can't quite dream Danny was a poor boy, son of a poor man Jeanne was a poor girl too They both want a little more Than the old man They knew what they had to do He caught her eye from across the room It was the summer of '92 And from that time forward nothing Was ever the same He joined the army in '94 Packed his bags and walked out the door Uncle Sam was havin' trouble Need a little favor from him They feel like they know where they're going They're headed together, Right or wrong They feel like they know where they're going But somedays baby it feels like It takes so long Danny was a poor boy, son of a poor man Jeanne was a poor girl too They both want a little more Than the old man They knew what they had to do In '95 a little boy arrived Jeanne sent a telegram and Danny cried And it crushed him to think he was 8,000 miles away That baby boy became a fine young man Jeanne led them all to the promised land It's on Maple, little house on the corner Number 443 Danny was a poor boy Son of a poor man Jeanne was a poor girl too They both want a little more Than the old man They knew what they had to do
