Alan Jackson Miscellaneous Short Sweet Ride I could see it coming from a mile away
A heartache lookinfor 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
Chorus
It was almost worth if for the time we spent
But there ain’t no future in a heart for rent
Still she taught me something ‘bout the facts of life
Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife
