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"

Woah, I ain't ever satisfied
Woah, I ain't ever satisfied

Now, I had me a woman she was my world
Yeah 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

Woah, I ain't ever satisfied
Woah, I ain't ever satisfied

I got an empty feelin' deep inside
I'm goin' 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 in boy, you're finally home"
(I ain't ever satisfied)
I said, "No thanks Pete, I'll just be movin' along"
(I ain't ever satisfied)

Woah, I ain't ever satisfied
Woah, I ain't ever satisfied
Woah, I ain't ever satisfied
Woah, I ain't ever satisfied
