Georgia on a Fast Train Billy Joe Shaver
Georgia on a Fast Train
O[G]n a rainy ,windy morning tha[C]t's the day that I was born on
In the [G]old sharecroppers one room country [D]shack
They [G]say my mammy left me,[C] same day that she had me
Said she h[G]it the road and [D]never once looked b[G]ack
An[G]d i just thought i'd mention, my G[C]randma's old age pension
Is the re[G]ason why i'm standing here to[D]day
I got a[G]ll my country learning, l[C]iving and a churning
Pickin' [G]cotton, rasin' [D]hell, and bailin' [G]hay
I'[G]ve been to Georgia on a fa[C]st train honey
[G]I wasn?t born no yesterd[D]ay
Got a g[G]ood Christian raisin' and an e[C]ighth grade education
Ain't no [G]need in y'all a t[D]reatin' me this w[G]ay
And now [G]sweet Caroline, I don't [C]guess I'll ever find
Another [G]woman put together like you [D]are
With your [G]wiggle and your walkin', and your bi[C]g city talkin'
You[G]r brand new shin[D]y Plymouth rag-t[G]op car
Yeah it's [G]hurry up and wait, in this worl[C]d of give and take
Se[G]ems like haste makes for waste every [D]time
And i [G]pray to my soul, when you he[C]ar those ages roll
Y[G]ou better know I'm gon[D]na get that share[G] of mine
