00:00Come a night in the motel room
00:19I'm wonderin'
00:22Wondering about my woman and my child
00:26For many, many years it's been like this
00:31Wondering
00:32Wondering if I'm gonna make it
00:36One more mile
00:37Last night I picked up the guitar
00:42And I played this tune
00:44Some, yes, some, the ground
00:48Went away
00:49Took a red and I'm away
00:53On the sand, man
00:55Come and take me
00:58Take me to the valley
00:59Wondering if I get to see
01:05Heaven when I get through
01:07Wondering if I get to hear
01:11People that just like you
01:13If you'll help me, Jesus
01:16I'll try to make my stand
01:18And I'll try to get it together
01:21And meet you in the promised land
01:24Now, now
01:25Last night I picked up the guitar

02:37Now, I want to meet you in the land. I got to meet you over there. I want to meet you in the promised land. I got to meet you over there. I got to meet you. I want to meet you over there. I want to meet you in the promised land.

16:00I can hear that conductor call.
16:04This is the last stop, y'all, in your home, if you tell, has set bound.
16:11I can hear that seaboard train calling my name.
16:20And I can hear them on the road, they go in my mind.

17:00You're not even a fool.
17:01You're not even a fool.
17:02Just try to keep sweet Jesus on your own mind.
18:38You know that I've got to keep on climbing, Lord.
18:44Till my mountain home is where I'm found.
18:49Till my rock and roll home is where I'm found.
18:55Till my heavenly home is where I'm found.
19:08I'm just a poor boy down in Georgia, and I'm riding on a big jet plane.
19:26I don't know what I'm doing here.
19:30I guess I can't complain.
19:33I'm just a fly around this country, and I'm banging on my guitar.
19:38I'm telling anybody who'll listen to me, I want to be a big rock and roll star.
19:45I'm a holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
19:52I got a holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
19:58I got the holy smoke, holy smoke fall over this land.
20:04Cause I'm a holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
20:11Well, I look out at Stone Mountain, and I know I am at home.
20:29I feel that laid back breeze, they blow, and it's a blowin' right through my phone.
20:36And my mama, she plays a piano, and my daddy plays a guitar too.
20:43Till I was 19, good Lord, the only grass I knew was blue.
20:48I'm a holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
20:55I got the holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
21:02I got the holy smoke, holy smoke all over this land.
21:08Cause I'm a holy smoke, I give it up, holy smoke, good dark man.
21:18I got the holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
21:48Well, I was born in Mississippi.
21:56I worked in Memphis and Nashville, too.
21:59And I heard the rhythm of the shoeshine boys.
22:02He would sing the Chattanooga, too, too.
22:05And for 25 years, I worked in church.
22:09I prayed that I would make it through.
22:12Now I'm in heaven, and my only job is to try to rock and roll for you.
22:17I'm a holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
22:24I got the holy smoke, holy smoke, good dark man.
22:30I got the holy smoke, holy smoke all over this land.
22:37Cause I'm a holy smoke, I give it up, I'm a holy smoke, good dark man.
22:43I'm a holy smoke, I'm a holy smoke, good dark man.
22:50I got the holy smoke, yes, I'm a holy smoke, good dark man.
22:56I got the holy smoke, I got the holy, holy, holy smoke, good dark man.
23:03Cause I'm a holy smoke, I can't have it, I'm a holy smoke, good dark man.
23:09I'm a holy smoke, I'm a holy smoke, I'm a holy smoke, good dark man.
23:15Every time it rains, Lord, I run to my window.
23:31I just wring my hand to moan.
23:36I listen to that thunder, Lord, and I can hear that lonesome wind moan.
23:42Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
23:48Tell me, baby, why you've been gone, why you've been gone so long?
23:55Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
24:00When you're scratching at my door, Lord, I can hear that lonesome wind moan.
24:06Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
24:12Somebody said they thought they saw you going on down the road to Reno.
24:18With a big old man from San Antone.
24:23They'll tell me, I'm a fool.
24:26Could cry for you, but, honey, what do they know?
24:29Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
24:33Tell me, baby, why you've been gone, why you've been gone so long?
24:41Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
24:45When they're scratching at my door, Lord, and I can hear that lonesome wind moan.
24:53Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
24:56There ain't nothin' I gotta do, y'all.
25:01I guess I could get stoned.
25:04Let the past paint pictures in my head.
25:09I fell out of the thunderbird and I tried to write me a sad song.
25:14Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
25:19Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
25:27Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
25:31When they're scratching at my door, Lord, I can hear that lonesome wind try to moan.
25:38Tell me, baby, why you've been gone so long?
25:44When they're scratching at my door, Lord, I can hear that lonesome wind try to moan.
25:50Tell me, baby, why?
25:52But I got to know why have you been gone so long?
26:01I got to know why have you been gone so long?
