(Alan Jackson/Jim McBride)

I Could See It Coming From A Mile Away
A Heartache Lookin' For 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 Go Insane
It's A Short Sweet Ride Om 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

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 Go Insane
It's A Short Sweet Ride Om A Runaway Train

It Was Almost Worth It 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

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 Go Insane
It's A Short Sweet Ride Om A Runaway Train

It's A Short Sweet Ride On A Runaway Train
