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
Working all day in my daddy's garage
Yeah, driving all night chasing some mirage
Pretty soon darling 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
I believe there's a promised land
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
So weak I wanna explode
Explode and tear this whole town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Try to find somebody itching for something 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
I believe there's a promised land
There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
I packed my bags and I'm headed 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'
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
I believe there's a promised land
I believe there's a promised land
I believe there's a promised land
