Broken down and desperate
If there’s a drug, I ain’t found it yet
They told me about a place
Where music is the medicine
You can leave your everything
Just step away
Never thought I’d understand
‘Til I crossed that bridge
To the promised land
They said I can’t, I say I can
I’ve made it to the journey’s end
When I crossed that bridge to the promised land
Making a living just ain’t no life
When did all my troubles become my wife
Corner office man
Holdin’ me back without a chance
City life with no romance
Just step away
Never thought I’d understand
‘Til I crossed that bridge
To the promised land
They said I can’t, I say I can
I’ve made it to the journey’s end
When I crossed that bridge to the promised land
Never thought I’d understand
‘Til I crossed that bridge
To the promised land
They said I can’t, I say I can
I’ve made it to the journey’s end
When I crossed that bridge, when I crossed that bridge
Never thought I’d understand
‘Til I crossed that bridge
To the promised land
They said I can’t, I say I can
I’ve made it to the journey’s end
When I crossed that bridge to the promised land
