I was born by the railroad tracks
G
The train whistle wailed & I wailed right back
G
My papa left me when I was quite young
G
He said one of these days you're gonna follow me son

Well I had me a woman, she was my world
But she went & run off with my back street girl
Well my back street woman could not be true
She left me standin' on the boulavard thinkin' of you

Last night I dreamed I made it to the promised land
I was standing at the gate with key in my hand
Saint Peter said come in boy you're finally home
I said no thanks Pete, I just be moving along
