Georgia On A Fast Train

On a rainy Wednesday morning, on the day that I was born In my old sharecropper's one room country shack They said my mommie left me the day before she had me Said she hit the road and never once looked back And I just like to mention that my grandma's old age pension Is the reason why I'm standing here today I got all my country learning and a milking and a churning Picking cotton raisin' hell and baling hay I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way And now sweet Carolina, I don't guess I'll ever find another woman put together like you are With your wiggle and you're walking and your big city talking And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag top car Hey, let's hurry up and wait in this world of give and take It seems like haste it makes me waste every time I declare to my soul when you hear those ages roll You better know I get my share of mine I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
