Shaver Billy Joe - Georgia On A Fast Train lyrics

rate me

On a rainy, windy morning that's the day that I was born on<br />

In the old sharecroppers one room country shack<br />

They say my mammy left me, same day that she had me<br />

Said she hit the road and never once looked back<br />

<br />

Verse 2:<br />

And I just thought I'd mention, my Grandma's old age pension<br />

Is the reason why I'm standing here today<br />

I got all my country learning, living and a churning<br />

Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey<br />

I wudn't born no yestday<br />

Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education<br />

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way<br />

<br />

Verse 3:<br />

And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find<br />

Another woman put together like you all<br />

With your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin'<br />

Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car<br />

<br />

Verse 4:<br />

Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take<br />

Seems like haste makes for waste every time<br />

And I pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll<br />

You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine<br />

<br />

Chorus.(x2)<br />

<br />

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