Alan Jackson - Short Sweet Ride lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 until he goes insane It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] It was almost worth it for the time we spent Because there ain't no future in a heart for rent Still she taught me something about the facts of life That love cuts quicker than a switch-blade knife [Chorus][x2] [Outro] A short sweet ride on a runaway train
