Lyrics
I was born by the railroad track
Well, the train whistle wailed, and I wailed right back
Well, Papa left Mama when I was quite young
Said, "Now, one of these days, you're gonna follow me, son"
Whoa-oh-oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-oh-oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Now, I had me a woman, she was my world
Yeah, but I ran off with my backstreet girl
Now, my backstreet woman could not be true
She left me standing on the boulevard, thinking 'bout you
Whoa-oh-oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-oh-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 Promised Land
(I ain't ever satisfied)
I was standing at the gate, and I had the key in my hand
(I ain't ever satisfied)
Saint Peter said, "Come in, boy, you're finally home"
(I ain't ever satisfied)
I said, "No, thank you, Pete, I'll just be moving along"
(I ain't ever satisfied)
Whoa-oh-oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-oh-oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-oh-oh, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-oh-oh, I ain't ever satisfied
