Short Sweet RideI could see it coming from a mile awayA heartache lookinfor 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 Chorus It was almost worth if for the time we spent But there ain't no future in a heart for rent Still she taught me something ‘bout the facts of life Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife Chorus It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train |
