Vuonna 1976 Cisse Häkkinen levytti ensimmäisen soololevynsä Teendreams,
jossa oli 1950- ja -60-lukujen hittejä.
Remu Aaltosen tuottamasta levystä tuli kaupallinen menestys.
Se oli vähän aikaa jopa Suomen suosituin rocklevy.
Vuonna 1979 ilmestynyt toinen soololevy, niin ikään 50-60-lukujen
hiteistä koostuva Summer Party, ei myynyt yhtä hyvin. Häkkinen vastasi albumin sovituksesta.
"Promised Land" on tällä albumilla.
Kokoonpano levyllä:
Cisse Häkkinen: basso & laulu / Ronnie Österberg: rummut
Ile Kallio: kitara / Hillel Tokazier: kosketinsoittimet

[Intro]

[Verse]

Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia,

California on my mind

I straddled that Greyhound, rode him into Raleigh,

and on across Caroline

We stopped in Charlotte but bypassed Rock Hill,

and we never was a minute late

We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,

rollin' out of Georgia state

[Verse]

Right away, I bought me a through-train ticket,

right 'cross Mississippi clean

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

smoking into New Orleans

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

just to help me get to Houston Town

There are people there who care a little about me

and they won't let the poor boy down

[Interlude]

[Verse]

Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

flying over to the Golden State

When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

he would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy

taxi to the terminal zone

Cut your engines and cool your wings

and let me make it to the telephone

[Outro]

We had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle,

half way 'cross Alabam,

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded

in downtown Birmingham
