[Verse 1]

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert

I pick up my money and head back into town

Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line

I got the radio on and I'm just killing time

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Working all day in my daddy's garage

Driving all night chasing some mirage

Pretty soon, little girl, I'm gonna take charge

[Chorus]

The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand

If I could take one moment into my hands

Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe in a promised land

[Verse 2]

I've done my best to live the right way

I get up every morning and go to work each day

But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold

Sometimes I feel so weak, I just wanna explode

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Explode and tear this whole town apart

Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart

Find somebody itching for something to start

[Chorus]

The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand

If I could reach one moment into my hands

Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe in a promised land

[Guitar, Saxophone, and Harmonica Solos]

[Verse 3]

Well, there's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor

I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm

Gonna be a twister to blow everything down

That ain't got the faith to stand its ground

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Blow away the dreams that tear you apart

Blow away the dreams that break your heart

Blow away the lies that leave you nothing

But lost and brokenhearted

[Chorus]

The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand

If I could take one moment into my hands

Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe in a promised land

And I believe in a promised land

And I believe in a promised land
