Short Sweet Ride — текст песни (Alan Jackson)

(Alan Jackson/Jim McBride)

I could see it coming from a mile away
A heartache lookin` for a place to stay
But I couldn`t resist her and I couldn`t be cool
Lord can`t a woman make a man a fool

It`s an age-old story but it still holds true
There ain`t no end to what a man won`t do
He`ll love some woman `til he go insane
It`s a short sweet ride om a runaway train

I was drunk and crazy from her sweet perfume
But I knew stone sober I was being used
Now the heartache lingers like a cheap cologne

It`s an age-old story but it still holds true
There ain`t no end to what a man won`t do
He`ll love some woman `til he go insane
It`s a short sweet ride om a runaway train

It was almost worth it for the time we spent
But there ain`t no future in a heart for rent
Still she taught me something `bout the facts of life
Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife

It`s an age-old story but it still holds true
There ain`t no end to what a man won`t do
He`ll love some woman `til he go insane
It`s a short sweet ride om a runaway train

It`s a short sweet ride on a runaway train
