"Georgia On A Fast Train" lyrics

On a rainy, windy morning that's the day that I was born on
In the old sharecroppers one room country shack
They say my mama had me, same day that she left me
She hit the road and never once looked back

And I just thought I'd mention, my Grandma's old age pension
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
I got all my country learning, milking and a-churning
Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

Hey sweet Caroline, I don't think I'll ever find
Another woman put together like you all
Your wiggle and your walkin', your big city talkin'
And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Let's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
Seems like haste makes for waste every time
And I pray that to my soul, when I hear those ages roll
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine

'Cause I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
