Time...is the enemy of a young man´s dreams
I´m stranded...In the heartland, or so it seems

I´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 any way I can
One road to the promised land
Gonna find out just who I am

Freedom...Do you know what I mean
Flatlands...Are all I´ve ever seen

Stuck 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 any way I can
One road to the promised land
Show the world just who I am

One road to the promised land
I thought by now I´d be a different man
One road to the promised land
Guess I found out...just who I am
