Verses:
Heaven sent the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand
'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in

Waitin' on the first step
Show me where the key is kept
Point me down the right line because it's time
To let me in

Chorus I

Flash the red is - wots...uh the deal?
Got to make it to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turnin' of the wheel

Mile after mile stone after stone
You turn to speak but you're alone
Million mile from home you're on your own
So let me in

Chorus I

Fly bright by candle light with her by my side
And if she prefers we never stir again
Someone sent the promised land and I grabbed it with both hands
Now I'm the man on the inside looking out

Chorus II
