When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Sarah Jane Morris has a song called "Promised Land". That's the only female vocalist I could find singing about a Promised Land in a song that could be classified as country. (She's English)
I have no guesses for the second one.
It would help A LOT if you told us when you heard these, at least what decade. We don't know when you were "a kid."

There's a couple of country songs I remember hearing as a kid and I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm hoping maybe someone here can help me.
The first one I remember finding the artist once and I believe she was Australian. It's definitely not Sherrie Austin or Jamie O'Neal though. The only line I remember is "welcome to the promised land".
The second, I know even less about. It's a female artist and the part I remember is "talk of, talk of the town. Nasty little rumour brings a big man down".
I've tried googling them before and I can't see to find anything. I'm hoping some of you may know something about it.
