Georgia on a Fast Train
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
Pickin cotton, rasin hell, and bailin hay
I ve been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I wasnât born no yesterday
Got a good Christian raisin and an eighth grade education
Ain t no need in y all a treatin me this way
And now sweet Caroline, I don t guess I ll ever find
Another woman put together like you are
With your wiggle and your walkin , and your big city talkin
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car
Yeah it 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 that share of mine
Chorus.(x2)
