Crawl Into The Promised Land lyrics - Rosanne Cash & John Leventhal

Now let's say the sinner's mass

And speak the words out loud

Now we hold our sister's hand

But not when guns and spirits prowl

Only in our dreams we had

Faith in bigger lives and plans

We put away those broken vows

To crawl into the promised land

And don't it feel like home

Don't it feel like we belong

You gotta lift your head and raise your hand

And crawl into the promised land

Fifty years away from here

Sixty, if I run

Deliver me from tweets and lies

And purify me in the sun

The old man surely must have known

To kick the lights and make his stand

Would give us strength back from the brink

To crawl into the promised land

And don't it feel like home

Don't it feel like we belong

You gotta lift your head and raise your hand

And crawl into the promised land

The night is long, but no one sleeps

The grifters make us pay

Torches burn and mothers weep

Deliver us from judgment day

And don't it feel like home

Don't it feel like we belong

You gotta lift your head and raise your hand

And crawl into the promised land

Don't it feel like home

Don't it feel like we belong

You gotta lift your head and raise your hand

And crawl into the promised land
