1. On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah
desert,
C G
I pick up my money and head
back to town.
G Em
Driving cross the Waynesboro County
line,
C G
I got the radio on and I’m
just killing time.
Em G
Working all day in my daddy’s
garage,
Em Am
driving
all night, chasing some mirage,
C
D
pretty
soon, little girl, I’m gonna take charge.
G C G
The dogs on Main Street howl, ‘cause they
understand,
Em C G
if I could take one moment into
my hands.
G
C G Em C G
Mister, I ain’t a boy, no, I’m a man, and I
believe in a promised land.
G Em
2. I’ve done my best to live the right way,
C G
I get up every morning and go
to work each day.
G Em
But your eyes go blind and
your blood runs cold,
C G
sometimes
I feel so weak, I just want to explode.
Em G
Explode and tear this old town
apart,
Em Am
take
a knife and cut this pain from my heart,
C D
find
somebody itching for something to start.

3. There’s a dark cloud rising from the desert floor,
C G
I packed my bags and I’m
heading straight into the storm.
G Em
Gonna
be a twister to blow everything down
C G
that ain’t got the faith to stand its ground.
Em G
Blow away the dreams that tear
you apart,
Em G
blow
away the dreams that break your heart,
Em G C D
blow
away the lies that leave you but lost and broken hearted.
G
C G
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 a promised land.
Em C G
+ And I
believe in a promised land !
Em C G
And I
believe in a promised land !
