  • I don't know why I'm posting this; I'm actually better than I've been in a long while. But I feel the need to; one of my all time favorites.

    For you, Ale_x_a, if you so need it.

    On a rattlesnack speedway in the Utah desert:
    I pick up my money and head back into town
    Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line
    I got the radio on, and I'm just killing time

    Working all day in my daddy's garage
    Driving all night...chasing some mirage...
    Well, pretty soon, little girl, I'm gonna take charge –

    The dogs on Main Street howl – 'cause they understand
    If I could take – one moment – into my hands
    Mister, I ain't a boy – no, I'm a man
    And I – believe in the Promised Land

    I done my best to live the right way:
    I get up every morning and go to work each day
    But your eyes go blind – and your blood runs cold
    Sometimes I feel so weak, I just wanna explode

    Explode – and tear this whole town apart
    Take - a - knife – and cut this pain from my heart
    Find somebody ichin' for something to start...

    Well, the dogs on Main Street howl – 'cause they understand
    If I could reach – one moment – into my hands
    Mister, I ain't a boy – no, I'm a man
    And I – believe in the Promised Land

    Mmhmm...
         hmmhmmmhmmmmmm...[etc.]

    Well, there's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
    I packed my bags, and I'm headin' straight into the storm
    Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
    I ain't got – the faith – to stand its ground

    Blow Away! the dreams that tear you apart
    Blow Away! the dreams...that break your heart...
    Blow Away! the lies – that leave you nothin' - but lost...and broken hearted...

    Well, the dogs on Main Street howl – 'cause they understand
    If I could take – one moment – into my hands
    Mister, I ain't a boy – no, I'm a man
    And I – believe in the Promised Land
    And I believe in a Promised Land
    And I believe in a Promised Land
