Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

I Ain't Ever Satisfied

I was born by the railroad tracks

Well 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"

I ain't ever satisfied

I ain't ever satisfied

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

She left me standin' on the boulevard thinkin' 'bout you

I ain't ever satisfied

I ain't ever satisfied

I got an empty feeling deep inside

I'm going over to the other side

Last night I dreamed I made it to the promise land

I ain't ever satisfied

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

I ain't ever satisfied

Saint Peter said, "Come on 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

I ain't ever satisfied

I ain't ever satisfied

I ain't ever satisfied

I ain't ever satisfied
