I Been to Georgia On a Fast Train by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen Lyrics
On a rainy Wednesday mornin', that's the day that I was born in
That old sharecroppin' one-room country shack
Well, they say my mama left me the day before she had me
She hit the road and never once looked back
And now I just wanna mention that my grandma's old-age pension
Is the reason that I'm standin' here today
I got all my country learnin' just a-milkin' and a-churnin'
Pickin' cotton, raisin' hell and a-balin' hay
Yeah, I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and a eighth-grade education
Ain't no need in y'all treatin' me that way
Sweet Carolina, I don't believe I'll ever find a
'Nother woman put together like you are
I love the wiggle in your walkin' and your big-city talkin'
And your brand new shiny Plymouth ragtop car
Now it's-a hurry up and wait in this world of give and take
Seem like-a haste makes a waste every time
I declare to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
Well, I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and a eighth-grade education
Ain't no need in y'all treatin' me that way
Yeah
Well
On a rainy Wednesday mornin', that's the day that I was born in
That old sharecroppin' one-room country shack
Well, they say my mama left me the day before she had me
She hit the road and never once looked back
Well, I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and a eighth-grade education
Ain't no need in y'all treatin' me that way
I say, hey-hey-hey, yeah
Huh-huh-haw
Hey-hey-hey
Whoo-ooh
Mm-hmm, oh yeah
Huh-huh-huh
That old sharecroppin' one-room country shack
Well, they say my mama left me the day before she had me
She hit the road and never once looked back
And now I just wanna mention that my grandma's old-age pension
Is the reason that I'm standin' here today
I got all my country learnin' just a-milkin' and a-churnin'
Pickin' cotton, raisin' hell and a-balin' hay
Yeah, I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and a eighth-grade education
Ain't no need in y'all treatin' me that way
Sweet Carolina, I don't believe I'll ever find a

And your brand new shiny Plymouth ragtop car
Now it's-a hurry up and wait in this world of give and take
