Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heaven sent the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand
'Cause I'm the man on the outside lookin' in
Waitin' on the first step
Show me where the key is kept
Point me down the right line
Because it's time
[Verse 2]
To let me in from the cold
Turn my lead into gold
'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul
And I think I'm growin' old
[Verse 3]
Flash the readies
What's a deal?
Got to make it to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel
Mile after mile (Mile after mile)
Stone after stone (Stone after stone)
You turn to speak, but you're alone
Million miles from home, you're on your own
[Verse 4]
So let me in from the cold
Turn my lead into gold
'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul
And I think I'm growin' old
[Verse 5]
Fire bright by candle light
And her by my side
And if she prefers, we never stir again
Someone sent the promised land
And I grabbed it with both hands
Now I'm the man on the inside lookin' out
[Verse 6]
Hear me shout, "Come on in!"
"What's the news and where you been?"
'Cause there's no wind left in my soul
And I've grown old
