Georgia On A Fast Train Lyrics - Live At Billy Bob's Texas - Billy Joe Shaver

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 

[Chorus] 

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey 

I wudn't born no yestday 

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 

[Chorus: x2] 

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
