Bruce Springsteen – The Promised Land Lyrics  Share

From Bruce Springsteen's album: Darkness on the Edge of the Town

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
(chorus)
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
[ The Promised Land lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/bruce-springsteen/promised-land/ ]
Explode and tear this town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Find somebody itching for something to star

(chorus)

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

(chorus)
