Short Sweet Ride

I could see it coming from a mile away,

A heartache looking for a place to stay.

But I couldn't resist her and I couldn't be cool,

The Lord made a woman to make a man a fool.

It's an age old story but it still holds true,

There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.

He'll loves some woman till he goes insane,

It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.

I was drunk and crazy by her sweet perfume,

But I knew stone sober I was being used.

Now, the heartache lingers like a cheap cologne,

She took all she wanted and she was gone.

Well, It's an age old story but it still holds true,

There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.

He'll loves some woman till he goes insane,

It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.

It was almost worth it for the time we spent,

'Cause there ain't no future in a heart for rent.

Still she taught me something 'bout the facts of life,

That love cuts quicker than a switch- blade knife.

It's an age old story but it still holds true,

There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.

He'll loves some woman till he goes insane,

It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.

It's an age old story but it still holds true,

There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.

He'll loves some woman till he goes insane,

It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.

A short sweet ride on a runaway train...
