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
