(Verse 1)
Pa and I walked the fence line his head hung low
He said, "I'm sorry this was supposed to be your own"
It wasn't long before the bankers came
And took away where we'd carved our family name
I thought my future slipped through my hands
The day I lost my promised land
(Chorus)
It was acres, it was a home
It was cornfields right up to the road
It was dirt I could feel beneath my feet
But there's so much more, waiting for me
'Cause I believe in heaven where sorrows finally end
Where there's milk and honey, That's my promised land
(Verse 2)
Each morning I pray
And talk to my Pa that passed away
I may have lost my place on earth
But one day I'll join him in
God's green fields and heavenly church
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Promised land, promised land
Where I own a piece of heaven
Promised land, promised land
(Chorus)
(Tag)
I believe in heaven where sorrows finally end
Where there's milk and honey
That's my promised land
