nicole atkins - promised land lyrics

[verse 1]
in a cab in new york city
east of chinatown
i came by to hear you singing
but i couldn’t get through the crowd
there’s so much i need to tell you
but i just couldn’t wait around

[chorus]
we’re broke down from where we stand
i see trouble in the promised land
i see pain and i see hurt
and what’s it really worth?
darling, don’t you understand?
you can’t drag my heart to the promised land
can’t drag my heart

[verse 2]
i bet you’re smoking in the alley
at the cabin down below
all the pretty people standing
drinking in the afterglow

[chorus]
we’re broke down from where we stand
i see trouble in thе promised land
i see pain and i see hurt
and what’s it really worth?
darling, don’t you understand?
you can’t drag my hеart to the promised land
can’t drag my heart
you can’t drag my heart
[bridge]
you don’t own me
we can’t stay together ’cause you’re lonely
i love it when you hold me, but that ain’t love
believe me
standing in your shadow ain’t easy
just gotta find what’s mine

[chorus]
broke down from where we stand
and i see trouble in the promised land
i see pain and i see hurt
and what’s it really worth?
darling, don’t you understand?
you can’t drag my heart to the promised land
can’t drag my heart
you can’t drag my heart
we’re broke down from where we stand
i see trouble in the promised land
i see pain and i see hurt
what’s it really worth?
darling, don’t you understand?
you can’t drag my heart to the promised land
can’t drag my heart
you can’t drag my heart
[outro]
can’t drag my heart
can’t drag my heart
