I Been to Georgia On a Fast Train |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| I’ve been to georgia on a fast train honey |
| I wouldn’t born no yesterday |
| Got a good christian raisin' and an 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 |
| With your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin' |
| Your brand new shiny plymouth rag-top car |
| 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 |
| I’ve been to georgia on a fast train honey |
| I wouldn’t born no yesterday |
| Got a good christian raisin' and an eighth grade education |
| Ain’t no need in y’all a treatin' me this way |
