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' |
