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 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
