Lyrics:

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert

I pick up my money and head back into town

Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line

I got the radio on and I'm just killing time

Working all day in my daddy's garage

Driving all night chasing some mirage

Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge

The dogs on Main Street howl

'Cause they understand

If I could take one moment into my hands

Mister I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe in a promised land

I've done my best to live the right way

I get up every morning and go to work each day

But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold

Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode

Explode and tear this whole town apart

Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart

Find somebody itching for something to start

The dogs on Main Street howl

'Cause they understand

If I could wrench one moment into my hands

Mister I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man

And I believe in a promised land

Well 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

That ain't got the faith to stand its ground

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

The dogs on Main Street howl

'Cause they understand

If I could take one moment into my hands

Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man

And I believe in a promised land

And I believe in a promised land

And I believe in a promised land
