Georgia On A Fast Train [Live (2004Wiltern Theatre, Los Angeles)]

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 rag top car

Well it'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 gonna get my share of mine

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

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

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
