Time  Is the enemy of a young man's dreams  And 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 leaving 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  I'm gonna find out just who I am    Freedom  Do you know what I mean  Flat lands  Are all I've ever seen    Stuck in a small town where you live, then you die  Ain't nothing but fool's working 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    [Instrumental break]    One road to the promised land  I'm gonna get there any way - any way I can  One road to the promised land  I have to find out 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  Maybe I'll find out just who I am
