Short Sweet Ride Lyrics - Here In The Real World - Alan Jackson

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 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.

Chorus: 

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. 

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 till he goes insane, 

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

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...
