I left my home in Northport, Virginia, California [F] on my mind.
[G] Traveled across the road and then around, even on across [C] Carolina.
_ Stopped in Charlotte and by a pair of rock heels,
and there was [F] a woman in a [G] blaze.
Blue riding my side of the plan,
I put some down the road and out of [C] Georgia's gates.
She had a motor trouble and it turned into a struggle,
halfway [F] across Alabama.
[G] And the town broke down and left us all stranded in downtown [C] Birmingham.
_ Right away I bought me a trail train,
taking riding crowds to [F] Mississippi Clean.
[G] I was one of the men that fly around Birmingham,
hoping to get [C] into a race.

_ Somebody help me get out of Louisiana,
help me get [F] to Houston town.
[G] There are people there who care a little about me,
and they won't let [C] the poor boy down.
The original bomb that blowed me to death,
put a [F] luggage in my hand.
[G] Then I woke up high over Albuquerque,
wanna get to [C] the promised land.
Working on a tape on a stick,
I look out and fly it over to [F] the Golden State.
[G] When the pilot told me,
I'm 13 minutes to the end of [C] the terminal here.

_ Take your wheelchair and come down easy,
taxi to [F] the terminal zone.
[G] Got your hand just to cool your waist,
now let me make you to [C] the telephone.
Los Angeles, give me your phone,
Virginia, call 1-840 [F]
-1009.
[G] I fell in love like home,
this is the promised land,
calling in the poor [C] boy's heart and mind. Yeah!
