New West Promised Land
I can see for miles out my back door Those hills roll on forever I'm working hard at living easy It's my full-time endeavour People in the city are living fast They trade what's good for what won't last Time for money, love for fame Just why I can't explain CHORUS: I know I'm living in the promised land This simple life some people can't understand Instead of banking on silver and gold I've got my wife and my children to hold There's never been a happier man Cos I can say I'm living in the promised land She's looking up when the sun goes down The moon and stars surround her She comes to me in the sweet night air And makes me glad I found her There's country music on our radio But late at night we rock and roll If there's a heaven here on earth Then I believe I've found it first (CHORUS) [Jeff Swaim; ©1997 New West]
