[ Southern-rock ]

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.
