Time is the enemy of a young man's dreams
And I'm stranded in the heartland or so it seemsI'm hitching a ride for a chance at the good life
I'll have my own place out on Fifth Avenue
I'm leavin' this time gonna walk on that fine line
I'll be the first one who finally breaks through(One road to the promised land)
I have to get there anyway I can
(One road to the promised land)
I'm gonna find out just who I amFreedom, do you know what I mean?
Flat lands are all I've ever seenStuck in a small town where you live, then you die
Ain't nothin' but fool's workin' nine until five
I'll sleep in the subways till I get what I need
I'm not gonna stay here, just lie here and bleed(One road to the promised land)
I'm gonna get there anyway I can
(One road to the promised land)
Show the road just who I am(One road to the promised land)
I'm gonna get there anyway, anyway I can
(One road to the promised land)
I have to find out just who I am, yeah(One road to the promised land)
Thought by now I'd be a different man, oh
(One road to the promised land)
Maybe I'll find out just who I am, yeah
