Alan Jackson – Short Sweet Ride

could see it coming from a mile away

A heartache lookin’ for a place to stay

But I couldn’t resist her and I couldn’t be cool

Lord can’t a woman make a man a fool

It’s an age-old story but it still holds true

There ain’t no end to what a man won’t do

He’ll love some woman ’til he go insane

It’s a short sweet ride om a runaway train

I was drunk and crazy from her sweet perfume

But I knew stone sober I was being used

Now the heartache lingers like a cheap cologne

It’s an age-old story but it still holds true

There ain’t no end to what a man won’t do

He’ll love some woman ’til he go insane

It’s a short sweet ride om a runaway train

It was almost worth it for the time we spent

But there ain’t no future in a heart for rent

Still she taught me something ’bout the facts of life

Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife

It’s an age-old story but it still holds true

There ain’t no end to what a man won’t do

He’ll love some woman ’til he go insane

It’s a short sweet ride om a runaway train

It’s a short sweet ride on a runaway train
