| I was born by the railroad tracks
|
| Well the train whistle wailed and I wailed right back
|
| Well papa left mama when I was quite young
|
| He said now «One of these days you’re gonna follow me son»
|
| Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| I ain’t ever satisfied
|
| Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| I ain’t ever satisfied
|
| Now I had me a woman she was my world
|
| But I ran off with my back street girl
|
| Now my back street woman could not be true
|
| She left me standin’on the boulevard thinkin’bout you
|
| I got an empty feeling deep inside
|
| I’m going over to the other side
|
| Last night I dreamed I made it to the promise land
|
| I was standin’at the gate and I had the key in my hand
|
| Saint Peter said «Come on in boy, you’re finally home»
|
| I said «No thanks Pete, I’ll just be moving along» |
