Georgia on a Fast Train

Текст песни Billy Joe Shaver - Georgia on a Fast Train

Thank you
Let's get on down to Georgia on a fast train, boys

On a rainy, windy morning, that's the day that I was born
In that 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 now 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, millin' and a churning
Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay

I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wouldn't born no yesterday
Got a good Christian raisin' and 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 all
I love your wiggle in your walkin' and your big city talkin'
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Hey, let's hurry up and wait in this world of give and take
Seem like a haystack made 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

I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wouldn't born no yesterday
Got a good Christian raisin' and eighth grade education
I ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wudn't born no yesterday
Got a good Christian raisin' and eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a-treatin' me this way
Ain't no need in y'all a-treatin' me this way
