Georgia On A Fast Train
By Billy Joe Shaver

On a [A]rainy, windy morning that's the [D]day that i was born on
In the old [A]sharecroppers one room country [E]shack
They [A]say my mammy left me, [D]same day that she had me
Said she [A]hit the road and [E]never once looked [A]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, raisin' hell, and bailin' hay
Chorus:
I've [A]been to Georgia on a [D]fast train honey
[A]I wasn't born no yester[E]day
Got a[A] good Christian raisin' and an [D]eighth grade education
Ain't no [A]need in y'all a t[E]reatin' me this [A]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
Chorus twice
Ain't no [A]need in y'all a [E]treatin' me this [A]way
