Lyrics
I was born by the railroad tracks
Well, the train whistle wailed and I wailed right back
Papa left mama when I was quite young
Said, "One of these days you're gonna follow me, son"
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-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
Left me standin' on the boulevard thinkin' bout you
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-oh-oh, 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 standin' at the gate, 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 thanks Pete, I'll be moving along"
(I ain't ever satisfied)
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied
