On a rainy Wednesday morning
That's the day that I was born
In that old sheriff's crumbling one-room country shack
They say my mammy left me
Same day that she had me
Said she hit the road and never once looked back
And now that's all I'd mention
My grandma's old age pension
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
I got all my country learning
Milking and a-churning
Picking cotton, raisin' hell, and bailin' hay
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain't no needin' y'all a-treatin' me this way
And now, sweet Carolina
I don't guess I'll ever find
Another woman put together like you are
With your wigglin' and your walkin'
And your big city talkin'
Your brand-new shiny Plymouth ragtop car
And this hurry up and wait
In this world of give and take
Seem like haste it makes for waste every time
Honey, I declare to my soul
When your hair grows ages old
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
And now I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain't no needin' y'all a-treatin' me this way
Ah, throw down, Eddie
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain't no needin' y'all a-treatin' me this way
Ain't no needin' y'all a-treating me this way
