Short Sweet Ride

I could see it coming from a mile away

A 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
