[Verse 1]
I was born by the railroad track
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"

[Chorus]
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied

[Verse 2]
Now I had me a woman she was my world
But I ran off with my backstreet girl
Now my backstreet woman could not be true
She left me standing on the boulevard thinkin' bout you

[Chorus]
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied

[Bridge]
I got an empty feeling deep inside
I'm going over to the other side

[Verse 3]
Last night I dreamed I made it to the promise land
(I ain't never satisfied)
I was standing at the gate and I had the key in my hand
(I ain't never satisfied)
Saint Peter said "Come on in boy, you're finally home"
(I ain't never satisfied)
I said "No thanks Pete, I'll just be moving along"
(I ain't never satisfied)
[Chorus]
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied
Whoa, I ain't ever satisfied
