Lyrics

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money, head back into town
Drivin' 'cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on but I'm just killin' time
Workin' all day in my daddy's garage
Drivin' all night, chasin' some mirage
Pretty soon, darlin', I'm gonna take charge
Well, the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could take this moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
And I believe in the promised land
I done my best, now, to live the right way
I get up every mornin' 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
Explode and tear this whole town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Try to find somebody itchin' for somethin' to start
Well, the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could take this moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
And I believe in the promised land
There's a dark cloud risin' from the desert floor
I packed my bags and I'm headin' straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothin' but
Lost and brokenhearted
Well, the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could take this moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
And I believe in the promised land
Yeah, I believe in the promised land
And I believe in the promised land
