[Verse]

Been walking for days in the hellish heat, looking for some place where we can rest our feet
G F Am G C G C
Then a petty stranger saying take my hand, I'm gonna lead you up to the promised land
C F C C F C
He held the pedal down kickin up that dust, before I knew it there 2 men following us
G F Am G C G C
He said and just keep quiet and give em all you can, you gotta pay your way to the promised land
C F C C F C
We made it to a fence where dogs were tied, I wasn't in no hurry to turn loose my pride
G F Am G C G C
He said they're all for show, you know a part of the plan, dogs rarely bite in the promised land
C F C C F C
Well after tearing my shirt from those hungry hounds, I climbed a junkyard heap where I could see a town
G F Am G C G C
A haven in the sun shinning bright and grand, was time to find my place in the promised land
C F C C F C
Well in the street they had 12 hundred signs, 2400 feet all marching in time
G F Am G C G C
Singing out some song about a native stand, trying to cast me out of the promised land
C F C C F C
well i aint felt too good since i landed here, everyone I might is full of rage and fear
G F Am G C G C
THe more I look around I'm just another man, leaning on one limb in the promised land
