The Promised land a geographical problem | Stone Pony London

The Promised Land - what can i say about this nothing but brilliant song?

my unquestioned no.1 song of all times,and i'm sure i'm not in the minority here.

sometimes i find myself listen to it in a loop.

but "Driving cross the Waynesboro county line".

my brother has just informed me that ,there's no Waynesboro county in Utah.

i told him Bruce can never be wrong with this.

is it true?

TIA

Well, there is a Waynesboro county there in that song. Someone has to fix this before the 20th anniversary celebrations begin. How hard can it be to change the local maps?!

Clearly, the Promised Land is in Virginia.

but there is a Wayne County , which looks like it fits with the "geography" of the song.

"On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line"

Could be, but mine was not intended as a serious possibility, just noting that the place exists.

Waynesboro is more lyrical than Box Elder, Juab or Tooele (real Utah counties).
