"Face The Promise" lyrics

I've been down in the delta workin' these fields
Breakin' my back, I need a better deal
So long Mississippi, so long Alabam'
I want to face the promise of the Promised Land

I've got fevered dreams, mighty plans
I need a black top road, I need a wheel in my hands
So long Arizona, so long desert sands
I need to face the promise of the Promised Land

I'm tired of this river, these nothin' nights
I'm small towned out, I need city lights
So long Allegany, so long Olean
I need to face the promise of the Promised Land

I'll need a world of changes, I need a brand new space
I need an El Dorado, there's got to be someplace

There's a line inside I think I've crossed
You better watch out now I'm gonna be my own boss
So long Massachusetts, so long Framingham
I need to face the promise of the Promised Land
So long North Dakota, you must understand
I need to face the promise of the Promised Land

Face the promise (Ow)
Face the promise (Oh)
Face the promise (Ah, ooh)
Face the promise
