Lyrics
Promised Land
Bob Stump © 2019
You got to live for judgement day
that's what all the good books say
you have to choose to take a stand
if your gonna get to the promised land
one day I'll fly on eagles wings
and find my way back home again
I would be a lucky man
If I could get to the promised land
I'll see some old friends when I'm there
we'll sing along with the angel band
my mamma and my papa too
uncle Jack & Norma Sue
one day I'll fly on eagles wings
and find my way back home again
I would be a lucky man
If I get to the promised land
I'm like a ship thats lost at sea
temptation gets the best of me
but through the fog I see the light
some day i'm gonna win the fight
one day I'll fly on eagles wings
and find my way back home again
I would be a lucky man
If I get to the promised land
cold sweats in the dark of night
my sinner and my saint collide
I pray there's enough left of me
to make a stand and set my spirit free
