I Been To Georgia On A Fast Train Lyrics - Willie Nelson

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... 

(guitar - harmonica) 

I been to Georgia on a fast train... 

There ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
