I Ain’t Ever Satisfied

[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
Said, "Now one of these days you're going to follow me, son"

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

[Verse 2]
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 standing on the boulevard thinking about you

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

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

[Verse]
Last night I dreamed I made it to the promise land
(I ain't ever satisfied)
I was standing 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 thank you Pete, I'll just be moving along"
(I ain't ever satisfied)

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