Bruce Springsteen — The Promised Land Springsteen on Broadway

[Verse 1] On a rattlesnake 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 Workin' all day in my daddy's garage Yeah, drivin' all night chasing some mirage Pretty soon darlin' I'm gonna take charge [Chorus] Well, the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could take this moment into my hands Mister I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man I believe there's a promised land [Verse 2] I've 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, so weak I wanna explode Explode and tear this whole town apart Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart Try to find somebody itching for somethin' to start [Chorus] Well, the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could take this moment into my hands Mister I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man I believe there's a promised land [Verse 3] There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor I packed my bags and I'm headed straight into the storm Gonna be a twister to blow everything down That 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' Nothin' but lost and brokenhearted [Chorus] Well, the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could take this moment into my hands Mister I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man I believe there's a promised land I believe there's a promised land I believe there's a promised land
