Better create a vocabulary of taxonomy terms populated with your items.Then you can use taxonomy_get_tree() function to retrieve all those items

I can't change the field. There are many submitted nodes having this field. – Nima Jun 27 '12 at 12:13
The data is on the field_config table. Identify the row by checking the value given for that select list from field_config.field_name column and use sql like this "select field_config.data from field_config WHERE id =field_config.id value". The allowed values will be the array ['settings']['allowed_values'] – user7282 Jun 27 '12 at 13:01

There's a working function implemented here that does the same thing – Clive♦ Jun 27 '12 at 13:06
