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";
