Artist: Alan Jackson Album: Original Album Classics (2011) Title: Short Sweet Ride
Lyrics Short Sweet Ride(Jim McBride - 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.
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.
