Promised Land

Head down as I punch this clock The hours roll, they never stop And I can't ever seem to get ahead Always tryin' to do what's right Straight and narrow, it's gettin' tight Don't know how much longer I can stand And I'm wonderin' Yeah, I'm wonderin' Where's my promised land? Out here on this desert road It's hot as fire but I've grown cold Circlin' like a plane that never lands And even though the questions change The answers always stay the same Maybe someday I will understand So I'm wonderin' Got me wonderin' Where's my promised land? Yeah, I'm wonderin' Still, I'm wonderin' Where's my promised land? Well, I've run this Earth for many years If there's one thing I know There's nowhere on this side o' Heaven Where streets are made o' gold I've long laid tell my grand illusions Lookin' toward the day that I'll be home I won't give up on this race Broken but I still have faith That this old life is all part of a plan And I can feel it in my soul One day, I'll stand before the throne With nothin' left but hope and these two hands Through all these seasons I'm still believin' You're my promised land In all my grievin' I'm still believin' You're my promised land You're my promised land Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh My promised land Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Ah, ah Oh, oh You're my promised land
