New West - Promised Land lyrics

I can see for miles out my back door

Those hills roll on forever

I'm working hard at living easy

It's my full-time endeavour

People in the city are living fast

They trade what's good for what won't last

Time for money, love for fame

Just why I can't explain

CHORUS:

I know I'm living in the promised land

This simple life some people can't understand

Instead of banking on silver and gold

I've got my wife and my children to hold

There's never been a happier man

Cos I can say I'm living in the promised land

She's looking up when the sun goes down

The moon and stars surround her

She comes to me in the sweet night air

And makes me glad I found her

There's country music on our radio

But late at night we rock and roll

If there's a heaven here on earth

Then I believe I've found it first

(CHORUS)
