Billy Joe Shaver - Georgia On A Fast Train Lyrics
On a rainy, windy morning that's the day that I was born onIn the old sharecroppers one room country shackThey say my mammy left me, same day that she had meSaid she hit the road and never once looked backVerse 2:And I just thought I'd mention, my Grandma's old age pensionIs the reason why I'm standing here todayI got all my country learning, living and a churningPickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hayChorus:I've been to Georgia on a fast train honeyI wudn't born no yestdayGot a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade educationAin't no need in y'all a treatin' me this wayVerse 3:And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever findAnother woman put together like you allWith your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin'Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top carVerse 4:Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and takeSeems like haste makes for waste every timeAnd I pray to my soul, when you hear those ages rollYou better know I'm gonna get my share of mineChorus.(x2)Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
