The Promised Land (Live at King's Hall, Belfast, UK - 03/19/96)

作词 : Bruce Springsteen

作曲 : Bruce Springsteen

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert

I pick up my money and head back into town

Drivin' 'cross the Waynesboro County line

I got the radio on, but I'm just killin' time

Workin' all day in my daddy's garage

Drivin' all night chasin' some mirage

Pretty soon, darlin', I wanna take charge

'Cause the dogs on Main Street how 'cause they understand

If I could take this moment into my hands

Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe in the promised land

I'd done my best now 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

Try to find somebody itchin' for something to star

Oh, well, the dogs on Main Street how 'cause they understand

If I could take this moment into my hands

Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe in the promised land

There's a dark cloud risin' off the desert floor

I packed my bag and I'm headed straight into the storm

Gonna be a twister to blow everything down

They 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

Nothing but lost

And the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand

If I could take this moment into my hands

Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe
