[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 [Pre-Chorus 1] Working all day in my daddy's garage Driving all night chasing some mirage Pretty soon, little girl, I'm gonna take charge [Chorus 1] 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 [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, I just wanna explode [Pre-Chorus 2] Explode and tear this whole town apart Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart Find somebody itching for something to start [Chorus 2] The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could reach one moment into my hands Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man And I believe in a promised land [Guitar, Saxophone, and Harmonica Solos] [Verse 3] Well, there's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm Gonna be a twister to blow everything down That ain't got the faith to stand its ground [Pre-Chorus 3] Blow away the dreams that tear you apart Blow away the dreams that break your heart Blow away the lies that leave you nothing But lost and brokenhearted [Chorus 1] 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 And I believe in a promised land And I believe in a promised land
