Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors - The Promised Land lyrics

William Anderson was blind as an alley cat Old man on the streets Edinburg He was my friend for a day Taught me many things I watched him walk the streets in faithfulness My granny sang soft and sweet Old gospel melodies Still driving at the age of ninety-three She almost got to a hundred Before she took her last And everyone who knew her called her blessed I remember you my friend How you came and took my hand May seem like it was years ago You walked me through the Promised Land Marilyn was kind you see That girl was always so good to me Sometimes I thought I was in love She taught me to laugh out loud And to cry more often She was my noonday joy I remember you my friend How you came and took my hand May seem like it was years ago You walked me through the Promised Land Dallas was friend of mine Lived down by the oxford line Use to have him a girl as pretty as the spring Tragedy struck one day And now she's gone away Dallas wept like a thunderstorm I remember you my friend How you came and took my hand May seem like it was years ago You walked me through You walked me through the Promised Land
