The Promised Land - (Live Acoustic) [Live on The National Mall, Washington D.C. - November 11, 2014]
On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money, head back into town
Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on but I'm just killing time
Working all day in my daddy's garage
Driving all night chasing some mirage
Pretty soon, darling, I'm gonna take charge
Well, 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 in a promised land
I 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 itching for something to start
Well, 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 in a promised land
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
Well, 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 in a promised land
And I believe in a promised land
And I believe in a promised land
I pick up my money, head back into town
Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on but I'm just killing time
Working all day in my daddy's garage
Driving all night chasing some mirage
Pretty soon, darling, I'm gonna take charge
Well, 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 in a promised land
I 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 itching for something to start
Well, 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 in a promised land
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
Well, 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 in a promised land
And I believe in a promised land
And I believe in a promised land
