Georgia On A Fast Train

(专辑： Tramp On Your Street - 1993)

On a rainy, windy morning that's the day that I was born on
In the old sharecroppers one room country shack
They say my mammy left me, same day that she had me
Said she hit the road and never once looked back

And I just thought I'd mention, my Grandma's old age pension
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
I got all my country learning, living and a churning
Picking cotton, rasing hell, and bailing hay

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I wouldn't born no yestday
Got a good Christian raising and an eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treating me this way

And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find
Another woman put together like you all
With your wiggle and your walking, and your big city talking
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Yeah let's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
Seems like haste makes for waste every time
And I pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine

And I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I wouldn't born no yestday
Got a good Christian raising and an eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treating me this way

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I wouldn't born no yestday
Got a good Christian raising and an eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treating me this way
Ain't no need in y'all a treating me this way
