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
