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 mommie 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 a milking and a churning Picking cotton raisin´ hell and baling hay I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn´t born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin´ and an eight grade education Ain´t no need in y´all a treatin´ me this way Now 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 ragtop car Well it´s hurry up and wait in this land of give and take
It seems like haste it makes for waste everytime I declare to my soul when you hear those ages roll You better know I´m gonna get my share of mine I been to Georgia on a fast train...
I been to Georgia on a fast train... There ain´t no need in y´all a treatin´ me this way
