The Promised Land (Live at LA Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA - September 1985)

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert I pick up my money and head back into town Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line I got the radio on, and I'm just killing time Working all day in my daddy's garage Driving all night, chasing some mirage Pretty soon little girl, I'm gonna take charge The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could take one moment into my hands Mister, I ain't a boy, no I'm a man And I believe in a promised land I've done my best to live the right way I get up every morning and go to work each day But your eyes go blind, and your blood runs cold Sometimes I feel so weak, I just want to explode Explode and tear this whole town apart Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart Find somebody itching for something to star The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could reach one moment into my hands Mister I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man And I believe in a promised land Well, there's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm Gonna be a twister to blow everything down That ain't got the faith to stand its ground Blow away the dreams that tear you apart Blow away the dreams that break your heart Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could take one moment into my hands Mister I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man And I believe in a promised land And I believe in a promised land And I believe in a promised land
