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