I was born by the railroad tracks

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

CHORUS X2: whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em C D G
I ain’t ever satisfied
VERSE 2
Now I had me a woman she was my world
Yeah well I ran off with my back-street girl
Now my back-street woman could not be true
Left me standin’ on the boulevard thinkin' of you
CHORUS X2

BRIDGE: I got empty feelin' deep inside
D C Em D
I'm goin' over to the other side
VERSE 3
Last night I dreamed I made it to the promised land
I was standin’ at the gate and I had the key in my hand
St. Peter said come in boy, you're finally home
I said, no thanks Pete, I’ll just be movin’ along
CHORUS X2
