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 youre gonna follow me son"
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I aint ever satisfied
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I aint 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
Im 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, youre finally home"
I said "no thanks pete, Ill just be moving along"
