Willie Nelson - Willie Nelson & Friends: Outlaws & Angels (2004) - Georgia On A Fast Train lyrics

  • On a rainy Wednesday morning that's the way that I was born in
    That 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 my grandma's old age pension
    Is the reason why I'm standing here today
    I got all my country learning 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

    Now sweet Carolina I don't think I'll ever find
    Another woman put together like you are
    I like your wiggle in your walking and your big city talking
    And your brand new shiny Plymouth ragtop car
    Well it's hurry up and wait in this land of give and take
    It seems like haste it makes for waste everytime
    I declare to my soul when you hear those ages roll
    You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
    I been to Georgia on a fast train...

    I been to Georgia on a fast train...
