In my opinion Promised Land is a great Rock and Roll song - going all the way back to Chuck Berry. I don't think it is a bad song at all. The lyrics may not require a lot of deep thought but hey that is probably true of most of those Rock N Roll classics. I know all the lyrics and can't help but sing along. I love the song. I do accept Meat's version on Midnight At The Lost And Found is nothing special - I am happy to admit to preferring Elvis's 70s version but I give the song 9 and Meat's version a 6.
