Short Sweet Ride Lyric by Alan Jackson

I could see it coming from a mile away
A heartache lookinfor a place to stay
But I couldnt resist her and I couldnt be cool
Lord cant a woman make a man a fool

Its an age-old story but it still holds true
There aint no end to what a man wont do
Hell love some woman til he goes insane
Its 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 aint 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

Its a short sweet ride on a runaway train
