I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
California on my mind
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound
I straddled that Greyhound
And rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline
And rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline
We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle
We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
Halfway across Alabama
Halfway across Alabama
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham
In downtown Birmingham
Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Ridin' across Mississippi clean
Ridin' across Mississippi clean
I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans
Smoking into New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just help me get to Houston Town
Just help me get to Houston Town
There are people there, who care a little about me
There are people there, who care a little about me
And they won't let the poor boy down
And they won't let the poor boy down
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
Put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
On a jet to the promised land
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Flying over to the golden state
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
He would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low chariot come down easy
Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
And let me make it to the telephone
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tidewater four ten or nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line
And the poor boy is on the line
Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Ridin' across Mississippi clean
Ridin' across Mississippi clean
I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans
Smoking into New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just help me get to Houston Town
Just help me get to Houston Town
There are people there, who care a little about me
There are people there, who care a little about me
And they won't let the poor boy down
And they won't let the poor boy down
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
Put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
On a jet to the promised land
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Flying over to the golden state
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
He would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low chariot come down easy
Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
And let me make it to the telephone
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tidewater four ten or nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line
And the poor boy is on the line
