Willie Nelson — Georgia on a Fast Train

[Verse 1] On a rainy Wednesday morning, that's the way that I was born in That old sharecropper's one room country shack They said my mommy left me the day before she had me Said she hit the road and never once looked back And I just like to mention my grandma's old age pension Is the reason why I'm standing here today I got all my country learning milking and churning Picking cotton, raising hell and baling hay [Chorus] I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wasn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education There's no need in you all treating me this way [Verse 2] Oh, muy sweet Carolina, I don't think I'll ever find Another woman put together like you are I like your wiggle in your walking and your big city talking And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag top car Well, let's hurry up and wait in this land of give and take It seems like haste it makes for waste every time I declare to my soul when you hear those ages roll You better know I'm going to get my share of mine [Chorus] I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wasn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education There's no need in you all treating me this way [Instrumental] [Chorus] I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wasn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education There's no need in you all treating me this way I've been to Georgia on a fast train I've been to Georgia on a fast train There is no need in you all treating me this way
