The Promise


On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert


Driving all night chasing some mirage

Driving cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time 


There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor

I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down 
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted

  1. the words in this post are quotes from the 1978 Bruce Springsteen song 'The promised land', whereas the post title is the name of a song he also wrote at the time, but that was only released in 2010, in a CD set that featured the (Nevada) photos posted here, pictures taken circa 1977 on a road trip between Utah and Nevada with photographer Eric Meola [A 1999 version of the song 'The promise' was also released on the 1999 CD entitled 18 Tracks]
