Promised Land

I've gone down to the Gulf of Mexico
Running away from a woman like you
I travel with my horse and my gun, to every city, one by one
In fear of meeting her again

I fell in love with an outlaw girl
She was the wildest thing I'd seen anywhere
I can still hear my old mother say
(With that woman your future will be gray)
Oh, mother, you were right

And I run and I run and I run and I run
I follow the signs of the sun
Hoping to find the Promised Land
And I run and I run and I run and I run
I follow the signs of the sun
Hoping to find the Promised Land

My boots are worn and my clothes are dirty
But I can't stay, I must continue my journey
Thanks for dinner, kisses and wine
I'll carry you with me on my mind
I'm back on the road again

"Ride two miles further east then you'll find the saloon of Uncle Jim
There you can sing happy songs for a bed
And hide yourself for a while from Death..."
Thank you sir, that's what I want
"You're welcome!"

And I run and I run and I run and I run
I follow the signs of the sun
Hoping to find the Promised Land
And I run and I run and I run and I run
I follow the signs of the sun
Hoping to find the Promised Land
Hoping to find the Promised Land
Hoping to find the Promised Land
