| I was born by the railroad tracks |
| G | |
| The train whistle wailed & I wailed right back |

| 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 |
