Short Sweet Ride

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

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 goes insane

It's a short sweet ride on 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

She took all she wanted, then she was gone

Well, 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 goes insane

It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train

It was almost worth it for the time we spent

There ain't no future in a heart for rent

Still she taught me something about the facts of life

Love cuts quicker than a switch-blade 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 goes insane

It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train

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 goes insane

It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train

A short sweet ride on a runaway train
