Standard (EADGBE)

I was born by the railroad tracks

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 x2

whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I ain’t ever satisfied

Verse 2

Now I had me a woman she was my world

Yeah well I ran off with my back-street girl

Now my back-street woman could not be true

Left me standin’ on the boulevard thinkin' of you

Chorus x2

Bridge

I got empty feelin' deep inside

I'm goin' over to the other side

Verse 3

Last night I dreamed I made it to the promised land

I was standin’ at the gate and I had the key in my hand

St. Peter said come in boy, you're finally home

I said, no thanks Pete, I’ll just be movin’ along

Chorus x2
