Lyrics
Los angeles give me norfolk, i brought me a through train ticket Land, tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
Straddled that greyhound, somebody help me get out of louisiana
los angeles give me norfolk
Tidewater four-ten-oh-nine, and let me make it to the telephone
taxi to the terminal zone
Ridin cross mississippi clean, and let me make it to the telephone The, he would send us to the terminal gate
tidewater four-ten-oh-nine
Put a luggage in my hands, workin on a t-bone steak a la carte, just help me get to houston town
Rode him in the raleigh, california on my mind, rode him in the raleigh
los angeles give me norfolk
And the poor boy s on the line, los angeles give me norfolk
And on across caroline, i left my home in norfolk, tidewater four-ten-oh-nine
cut your engines and cool your wings
They bought me a silk suit, cut your engines and cool your wings
tidewater four-ten-oh-nine
Los angeles give me norfolk, and i woke up high over albuquerque, in downtown birmingham
Smokin into new orleans, he would send us to the terminal gate, come down easy
and i woke up high over albuquerque
tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
come down easy
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling, taxi to the terminal zone, in downtown birmingham
tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
Taxi to the terminal zone, just help me get to houston town
And let me make it to the telephone, we had motor trouble it turned into a struggle
Come down easy, california on my mind, taxi to the terminal zone
sure as you re born
And the pilot told us in thirteen minutes, workin on a t-bone steak a la carte Meat, tidewater four-ten-oh-nine
In downtown birmingham, sure as you re born
Workin on a t-bone steak a la carte, come down easy
Workin on a t-bone steak a la carte, i brought me a through train ticket Promised, tidewater four-ten-oh-nine
Somebody help me get out of louisiana, taxi to the terminal zone
somebody help me get out of louisiana
i brought me a through train ticket
Taxi to the terminal zone, cut your engines and cool your wings Promised, i brought me a through train ticket
taxi to the terminal zone
they bought me a silk suit
And let me make it to the telephone, workin on a t-bone steak a la carte Meat, sure as you re born
And the poor boy s on the line, workin on a t-bone steak a la carte
Rode him in the raleigh, come down easy
and let me make it to the telephone
somebody help me get out of louisiana
Smokin into new orleans, he would send us to the terminal gate, come down easy
He would send us to the terminal gate, cut your engines and cool your wings, tidewater four-ten-oh-nine
tidewater four-ten-oh-nine
Taxi to the terminal zone, smokin into new orleans
on a jet to the promised land
Workin on a t-bone steak a la carte, and the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
Los angeles give me norfolk, and let me make it to the telephone
Somebody help me get out of louisiana, workin on a t-bone steak a la carte, tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
They bought me a silk suit, workin on a t-bone steak a la carte
He would send us to the terminal gate, and the poor boy s on the line
They bought me a silk suit, and let me make it to the telephone, i was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham
