[Verse One]
I used to think that you were heaven-sent to be all mine
Thought that you were gonna be the one sho' 'nuff this time
Know you had designs on every minute, every day
Caged up all my desire, packed my bags, and moved away
Like an old road downtown beside the railroad track
You'd fit them bottom-dollar, you'd be right there by my back
It don't matter what I do
You had all my self-esteem
You won't be satisfied until I skip down and change my name
[Verse Two]
Yeah, the other day, when we spoke
That I'm leaving town
And you can't leave me for long girl
Leave yo' momma town
I hope that you're happy now
I'm livin' on the land
Packed my bags and moved down south
Where them crickets sing my name
Lemme find that I'm a travel by river man
And I came to do a run through Dixie-land
[Chorus]
Ain't no matter what I do
You know it all turns out the same
They've all been satisfied
I've been trying to change my name
[Instrumental Solo]
You might find baby
That I'm a travel by river man
Then again, ain't no train
Run through Dixie-land
Yeah baby
[Chorus]
Ain't no matter what I do
It'll all turn out the same
They won't be satisfied
'Till I skip town
Won't be satisfied
'Till I skip town and change my name
