I could see it coming from a mile away

A heartache lookinfor a place to stay

But i couldnt resist her and i couldnt be cool

Lord cant a woman make a man a fool



Its an age-old story but it still holds true

There aint no end to what a man wont do

Hell love some woman til he goes insane

Its 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 aint no future in a heart for rent

Still she taught me something bout the facts of life

Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife



Chorus



Its a short sweet ride on a runaway train
