Lock me up in a room somewhere
Get me out of the open air
No perception of space or time
And no peace of mind

Shut me out of the wind and rain
Shelter me from the hurt and pain
No temptation to lead me on
Now that you're gone

(chorus)
Won't you come to the rescue
Take me to the promised land
You've got the power to show me
Love is at hand
With you right here beside me
Dancing barefoot in the sand
Close your eyes and take me
To the promised land

Bolt the windows and close the door
Now there's nothing worth living for
New direction is hard to find
So leave me behind

Dim the lights and hang up the phone
All I want is to be alone
No connection with anyone
I just can't go on

(chorus)

Take me to the promised land
Take me to the promised land
(Take me)
To the promised land
To the promised land
Take me

(chorus)

Won't you come
To the promised land
Won't you come
(To the rescue)
To the promised land
(Come to the rescue)

Lyrics for Take Me To Your Promised Land by Jason & the Scorchers

My poor dear child your hands feel so cold Just like your daddy when his story was told They′ve gathered around and spoke of the One

And the battle unending that's only begun Only begun So take me to your promised land Heal my heart with your bleeding hand Don′t let time erase the stain The Promised Land someday we'll gain The sharpshooter waited one cause in his brain The desert would swallow the cries of the pain His finest hour the generals would boast While his comrades offer a toast Offer a toast So take me to your promised land Heal my heart with your bleeding hand Don't let time erase the stain The Promised Land someday we′ll gain The desert was burning the sun set afire He dreams of his glorious funeral pyre He thinks of the widows he′s leaving in pain He curses the hatred that makes him insane Makes him insane So take me to your promised land Heal my heart with your bleeding hand Don't let time erase the stain The Promised Land someday we′ll gain

Promised Land Song Lyrics

.OOOOhh look at you Cleveland!

Put your hands together for this one!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeeeeaah!!

All dressed up and out on the streets uh,

turning tricks was just part of your scene,

workin' all night long, trying to make a better day.

When a dream is all you've really gut uh,

load it up and give it a shot.

Baby here I come, I'm on my way. (what say?)

Yeah, take my hand,

Whoa yeah, to the Promised Land.

You and I we're gonna make a stand,

Whoa yeah in the Promised Land.

Promised Land

Baby, we got money to burn,

diamonds and gold, at every turn.

It's the land of milk and honey

and honey I gave you the world.

Payback is a real big b**ch,

You've gotta gotta satisfy your itch uh,

And if I scratch your cat,

Are you ready to play? (give it to me)

Yeah, take my hand,

Whoa yeah, to the Promised Land.

You and I we're gonna make a stand,

Whoa yeah to the Promised Land.

Promised Land

Ah yeah,

Oh yeah,

Ah ah ah aaaaah.

(Solo)

You got to, you got to,

Yeah, take my hand,

Whoa yeah, to the Promised Land.

You and I we're gonna make a stand,

Whoa yeah in the Promised Land.

Promised Land

Yeah, take my hand,

Whoa yeah, to the Promised Land.

You and I we're gonna make a stand,

Whoa yeah in the Promised Land.

Promised Land

You've got that right baby.

Why don't you take my hand,

why don't you take my hand?

Take me, take me, take me home.

Whooo!
