The Promised Land

A country road I walk
A tight road drawn in chalk
With a child hand in hand
To the promised land

And if I stumble off the line
I’ll be blown away in time
And forever walk unseen
Through the world between

And Houston I stayed awhile
With a girl with an angel smile
And a lazy summer room
With a stove and a silver spoon

And a tv made us laugh
And I sat in a shallow bath
To a terrible country tune
In that summer room

So on a highway I do walk
On a tight road drawn in chalk
With a child hand in hand
To the promised land

And if I stumble off the line
I’ll be blown away in time
And forever walk unseen
Through the world between

So I keep my footing right
And I walk into the night
And I’ll meet my cowboy band
In the promised land
