Promised Land i was working on a job that did not pay had a pocket full of nothin' and a dream that said someday there might be a way that she would see that i'm better than i look she said i didn't look like the kind of man who had what it took will you stand by me when the others went will you still be here when the money's spent i said i'd give my soul just to pay your rent then my eyes were opened wide when she said baby welcome to the promised land she said i don't know what you're looking for but i'll give you all i can when we're old and gray i will still recall the day when she said baby welcome to the promised land we got married out upon the vegas strip she was a dancer and the preacher said she sure looks nice now how about a tip we had no money and she asked me how i felt 'bout standin back stage on our honeymoon as she slipped the dollars from her garter belt as the years passed slowly by i was still there by her side and though time had to take it's toll she was beautiful, i couldn't hide my pride Written by Paul
