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"
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Now I had me a woman
She was my world
Yeah, 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
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
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 thank you Peter
I'll just be moving along"
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Oh, I ain't ever satisfied
