Promised Land

Into the storm
I'm driving fast
From hazard to harm
A reprieve that never lasts
A long way from home
Is it forward or behind?
Looking for a place stand
That the miles just can't find

There is no promised land any more
No...
There is no promised land any more

The grey light fades
As the night closes in
A heavy rain falls
Cuts horizontal in the wind
Buffet and blow
Water between wheel and road
I slide through the curves
Under my shifting load

Roll the windows down
Shout angry songs into the wind
Though the storm steals my voice
If I'm singing then it cannot win
Oh no keep those windows down

No promised land any more
No...
There is no promised land any more

No promised land any more
No...
There is no promised land no more

Only this engine roar
Drowns out the noise in my head
If you find me like this
Just leave me for dead
Oh oh only this engine roar
Drowns out the noise in my head
If you find me like this
Please leave me for dead

Oh no promised land any more
Oh no...
There is no promised land any more

Lit from within
Thunderhead heart flashes bright
Cities long dead
Fall under my headlights
So many storms
Have already beat me here
From hazard to harm
And from harm on to despair

There is no holy ground
You only find what you find
And with luck
You can stand on what you have found
Oh no there is no holy ground
We only find what we find
And with luck
We can stand on what we have found

Oh no promised land any more
Oh no...
There is no promised land any more
Oh no promised land any more
Oh no...
There is no promised land no more
