I was born by the railroad tracks
Train whistle wailed and I wailed right back
Papa left mama when I was quite young
He said, "One of these days you'll 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

I had me a woman she was my world
But I ran off with my back street girl
Back street woman could not be true
Left me standin' on the boulevard still thinking 'bout you

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

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 ain't ever satisfied)
I was standin' at the gate and I had the key in my hand
(I ain't ever satisfied)
Saint Peter said, "Come on in boy, you're finally home"
(I ain't ever satisfied)
I said, "No thank you Pete, I'll be moving along"
(I ain't ever satisfied)

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
