I was born by the railroad track Train whistle wailed and I wailed right back Daddy left Mama when I was quite young Said one of these days you're gonna follow me on
Whoa I ain't ever satisfied
Well, I had me a man and he was my world Oh, but I ran off like a back street girl Back street woman cannot be true Now I'm standing on the corner just thinkin' 'bout you
Whoa I ain't ever satisfied Whoa I ain't ever satisfied
I got an empty feeling deep inside I'm goin' over to the other side Last night I dreamed I made it to the promised land I was standing at the gate and I had the key in my hand St. Peter said come in child you're finally home I said no thank you Peter I'll just move along
Whoa I ain't ever satisfied Whoa I ain't ever satisfied.
