SHORT SWEET RIDE
Alan Jackson
[Intro]
G G D G
G C G
I could see it coming from a mile a way
D G
A heartache lookin' for a place to stay
C G
But I couldn't resist her and I couldn't be cool
D G
Lord can't a woman make a man a fool
C
It's an age-old story but it still holds true
G D G
There ain't no end to what a man won't do
C
He'll love some woman 'til he go insane
G D G
It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train
G C G
I was drunk and crazy from her sweet per fume
D G
But I knew stone sober I was being used
C G
Now the heartache lingers like a cheap colo gne
D G
She took all she wanted then she was gone
Repeat Chorus
[Solo]
C C G D G C C G D G
G C G
It was almost worth it for the time we spent
D G
But there ain't no future in a heart for rent
C G
Still she taught me something 'bout the facts of life
D G
Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife
Repeat Chorus Twice
G D G
A short sweet ride on a runaway train
