Bob Seger Lyrics

Face The Promise

I been down in the delta workin' these fields
So long Mississippi so long Alabam
I wanna face the promise of the Promised Land

I 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 wanna 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 face the promise of the Promised Land

I 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 face the promise of the Promised Land
So long North Dakota you must understand
I need face the promise of the Promised Land
