Background Information
We go into marriages and play out our roles and
follow the rules. The rules however deceived
a lot of people in the present mortgage and
home crisis. The American dream failed for
a whole lot of folks. The cries of the people
and no one to hear.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Johnny 2 bears and Josie Ann
Met one day in the Promised Land
They said they would hold cling and live
And made their vows to forgive
Johnny 2 bears and Josie Ann
Made their vows in the Promised Land
Verse 2
They had two children a boy and girl
They had their paychecks and the Duke of Earl
They had a house in the country
A cat up a tree they had a dog in the yard
And MTV
Johnny 2 bears and Josie Ann
Had two kids in the Promised Land
Chorus
Come and get your tan, come and get your
tan
Everybody’s tan in the Promised Land
Come and get your tan in the Promised Land
Oh everybody’s tan in the Promised Land
Verse 3
The jobs turned over
As dreams were put on hold
They kept things going
And did what they were told
The boy and the girl
Went to all the right schools
Johnny and Josie they followed the rules
Johnny 2 bears and Josie followed all the rules
In the Promised Land
Chorus
Verse 4
The paychecks fell short
As hard times brought fear
The cries of the people
And no one to hear
Bills and lawyers followed days and nights
The house in the country lost its lights
Johnny 2 bears and Josie Ann
Lost their lights in the Promised Land
Chorus
