            Some folks call me outlaw
            Yeah, they say I'm full'a rage
            I was born in South Bay, Mobile
            On the wrong side of history's page

            I was trouble for my mamma
            An' a beam in my daddy's eye
            Knew every girl I could
            Lord knows, I often made 'em cry

                    But I'm on my way, won't be back this way again
                    May not know where I'm goin', but I know where I've been
                    As the train pulls out'ta the station
                    And heads down the liberation track
                    Feel like somethin' might be gainin'
                    An' there ain't no, ain't no lookin' back

            My only coat was the wrong color
            Lord knows, I weren't no favorite son
            An' I done hard time in the hole
            Before I turned twenty-one

            Yeah, I've been called every defame name
            Most say I belong in a cage
            The home folks call me Leroy
            But you can call me Satchel Paige

                    And I'm on my way, won't be back this way again
                    May not know where I'm goin', but I know where I've been
                    As the train pulls out'ta the station
                    And heads down the liberation track
                    Feel like somethin' might be gainin'
                    An' there ain't no, ain't no lookin' back

                    Feel like somethin' might be gainin', yeah
                    An' there ain't no, ain't no lookin' back *


* Based on the life of American baseball legend Leroy Satchel Page, who is credited with first saying:  “Don't look back, something might be gaining on you”, apparently derived from the Old Testament story of Lot and his wife fleeing Sodom.
