Straddled that Greyhound, rode him past Raleigh, On across Caroline. Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill, And we never was a minute late. We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown, Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state. We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle, Half way 'cross Alabam, And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown Birmingham. Straight off, I bought me a through train ticket, Ridin' cross Mississippi clean And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham Smoking into New Orleans. Somebody help me get out of Louisiana Just help me get to Houston town. There's people there who care a little 'bout me And they won't let the poor boy down. Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit, Put luggage in my hands, And I woke up high over Albuquerque On a jet to the promised land. Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte Flying over to the Golden State; The pilot told me in thirteen minutes We'd be headin' in the terminal gate. Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy Taxi to the terminal zone; Cut your engines, cool your wings, And let me make it to the telephone. Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia, Tidewater four ten O nine Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' And the poor boy's on the line Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Wee Wee Hours, You Cant Catch Me, Back In The USA, My Ding-A-Ling, Nadine, School Days, Memphis Tennessee, It Wasnt Me, Little Marie, Oh Yeah, Run Rudolph Run, I Love You, I Will Not Let You Go, Lets Boogie, Anthony Boy, Little Star, Rip It Up, Route 66, Run Around, Stop and Listen, Sweet Sixteen, Club Nitty Gritty, Crazy Arms, Drifting Heart, Have Mercy Judge, I ve Changed, Im Just A Lucky So & So, Its My Own Business, Merry Christmas, Baby, Ramona Say Yes, Sweet Little Rock N Roller, The Things I Used To Do, Thirteen Question Method, Viva Viva Rock n Roll, You Never Can Tell, Together (Well Always Be), How Youve Changed, St. Louis Blues, Still Got The Blues, Go Bobby Soxer, Our Little Rendezvous, My Mustang Ford, Down The Road A Piece, Rock N Roll Music, California, House Lights, I Need You Baby, I Never Thought, If I Were, Move It, Other Chuck Berry song Lyrics Almost Grown Lyrics Around & Around Lyrics Beautiful Delilah Lyrics Betty Jean Lyrics Bio Lyrics Brown Eyed Handsome Man Lyrics Bye Bye Johnny Lyrics Carol Lyrics Come On Lyrics Confessin the Blues Lyrics Dear Dad Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Berry John Lyrics Berry Sakharof Lyrics Bersani Samuele Lyrics Berserk Lyrics Bersuit Vergarabat La Lyrics Bert and Ernie Lyrics Bert Lown Lyrics Bert Newton Lyrics Bert Visser Lyrics Berta Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
