A song about trying to make it in the city. Featuring archival footage from www.prelinger.com

He was born to be among the movers and the shakers
But all of them got shook up and now they’re gone
They are hiding in the bunkers beneath the city
Waiting out the sirens and the bombs

Here come this little girl from east KentuckyWith nothing but her banjo and her pride
She’s got an education you can’t pay for
And the kind of hope about a million miles wide

They came here for the promise
They came here to make a stand
And out here beneath the city sky line
They think maybe they’ve found a promised land

They met once at the protest down on wall street
Waving round their painted cardboard signs
She was protesting what they were doing to her mountains
He just wanted him a bigger slice of pie

They came here for the promise
They came here to make a stand
And out here beneath the city sky line
They started dreaming of a different promised land
Where a garden grows

Well she saved her nickels and played her banjo
He went back in debt to get his MBA
And as she felt the hope it shrinking around her
Started dreaming about how to get away

They came here for the promise
They came here to make a stand
And out here in the wilderness of the city
That aint no place to call a promised land
Where a garden grows
