On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on, and I'm just killing time
Working all day in my daddy's garage

The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could reach one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land

Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing
But lost and brokenhearted
Well, the dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land
And I believe in a promised land
And I believe in a promised and
