Georgia On a Fast Train
Billy Joe Shaver

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


Verse 2:

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


Chorus:

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey

I wudn't born no yestday

Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way


Verse 3:


And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find

Another woman put together like you all

With your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin'

Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car


Verse 4:

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 my share of mine


Chorus.(x2)


Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
