I got nothing in my pockets all I own is just my name
Feeling kinda hungry and my clothes look awful bad
But I gotta go see my baby and I'm gonna be mighty glad
To get back to the promised land
Yeah, got to make it any way I can
Just got to taste that milk and honey one more time
She's gonna take me by the hand
Make me feel like a new born man
When I get back to my baby in the promised land
I thumbed a ride to Frisco, hopped a train to Sante Fe
Cause every morning there's a memory keeps me moving on my way
Now this special place I'm going, someone's waiting there for me
And it's worth it all just knowing just how good it's a gonna be
To get back to the promised land
Yeah, got to make it any way I can
Just got to taste that milk and honey one more time
She's gonna take me by the hand
Make me feel like a new born man
When I get back to my baby in the promised land
Yeah! To get back to the promised land
Yeah, got to make it any way I can
Just got to taste that milk and honey one more time
She's gonna take me by the hand
Make me feel like a new born man
When I get back to my baby in the promised land
Fade…
