Promised Land

In a cab in New York City East of Chinatown I came by to hear you singing But I couldn't get through the crowd There's so much I need to tell you But I just couldn't wait around We're all broke down, from where we stand I see trouble in the promised land I see pain, and I see hurt And what's it really worth? Darling, don't you understand? You can't drag my heart to the promised land Can't drag my heart Bet you're smoking in the alley At the cabin down below All the pretty people standing Drinking in the afterglow We are broke down, from where we stand I see trouble in the promised land I see pain, and I see hurt And what's it really worth? Darling, don't you understand? You can't drag my heart to the promised land Can't drag my heart You can't drag my heart You don't own me We can't stay together 'cause you're lonely I love it when you hold me but that ain't love Believe me Standing in your shadow ain't easy Just gotta find what's mine Broke down, from where we stand And I see trouble in the promised land I see pain, and I see hurt And what's it really worth? Darling, don't you understand? You can't drag my heart to the promised land Can't drag my heart You can't drag my heart We're broke down, from where we stand I see trouble in the promised land I see pain, and I see hurt What's it really worth? Darling, don't you understand? You can't drag my heart to the promised land Can't drag my heart You can't drag my heart Can't drag my heart Can't drag my heart
