Lyrics
brother and sister, mama and pa livin in a trailer in arkansas when ya comin home son, well i don't know still got a couple wild oats to sow cause i'm just doin what i do best livin out the legend of the golden west flyin like an eagle, walkin like a man chasin my angel through the promised land friday evenin when the sun go down it's a five-star party in a one-bar town dawn come early but that's all right we can get a head start on saturday night cause i'm just doin what i do best runnin with the devil and the dispossessed waitin on a mission, tryin to make a plan chasin my angel through the promised land people say son you're gonna come to harm better fly right, better stay down on the farm but there ain't no farm left to stay down on and all of my reasons for stayin are gone i don't know, but i've been told a yankee politician ain't got no soul my mama said it and i believe it's true they don't give a damn about me and you cause they just doin what they do best workin for the rich, and stealin from the rest so put me on a highway, catch me if you can chasin my angel through the promised land now one fine mornin when my ship come in gonna pack my fortune, take it home again stack my sorrows like stones until i have build me a mansion on a high, high hill cause i'm just doin what i do best settin up my table in the wilderness swimmin in the river, dancin in the sand chasin my angel through the promised land chasin my angel through the promised land chasin my angel through the promised land
