Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  was born by the railroad tracks
the  train whistle wailed, and I wailed right back
my  papa left me when I was quite young
he said  one of these days you're gonna follow me son
 
 oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
  I  aint ever satisfied
 well I had me a woman she was my world
 but she went and run off with my back-street girl
 well my back-street woman, she could not be true
 left me standin on the boulivard thinkin' of you
 
 I got this empty feelin' deep inside
  I'm  goin' back to the other  side
 last night I dreamed I made it to the promise land
 I was standin at the gate with key in my hand
 St. Peter said, come on boy you're finally home
 I said, no thanks Pete I,ll just be movin along
