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»
