I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train - Billy Joe Shaver[00:00:01]
On a rainy windy morning[00:00:11]
That's the day that i was born on[00:00:13]
In the old sharecroppers one room country shack[00:00:15]
They say my mammy left me [00:00:19]
Same day befor she had me[00:00:21]
Said she hit the road[00:00:22]
And never once looked back[00:00:24]
And i just thought i'd mention [00:00:26]
My Grandma's old age pension[00:00:29]
Is the reason why i'm standing here today[00:00:30]
I got all my country learning [00:00:34]
Living and a churning[00:00:37]
Pickin' cotton rasin' hell [00:00:38]
And bailin' hay[00:00:40]
I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey[00:00:43]
I wudn't born no yesterday[00:00:47]
Got a good Christian raisin'[00:00:50]
And an eighth grade education[00:00:52]
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way[00:00:54]
And now sweet Caroline [00:01:13]
I don't guess i'll ever find[00:01:15]
Another woman put together like you all[00:01:17]
With your wiggle and your walkin' [00:01:21]
And your big city talkin'[00:01:23]
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car[00:01:25]
Yeah it's hurry up and wait [00:01:29]
In this world of give and take[00:01:31]
Seems like haste makes for waste every time[00:01:33]
And i pray to my soul [00:01:37]
When you hear those ages roll[00:01:38]
You better know[00:01:40]
I'm gonna get my share of mine[00:01:41]
And I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey[00:01:44]
I wouldn't born no yesterday[00:01:49]
Got a good Christian raisin'[00:01:52]
And an eighth grade education[00:01:54]
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way[00:01:56]
