Short Sweet Ride

I could see it coming from a mile away
A heartache looking for 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
Well, 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
It was almost worth it for the time we spent
There ain't no future in a heart for rent
Still she taught me something about the facts of life
Love cuts quicker than a switch-blade knife
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
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
A short sweet ride on a runaway train
