[Alan Jackson/Jim McBride]

I could see it coming from a mile away,
A heartache looking 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 till 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.

Well 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 till he goes insane,
It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.

-- Instrumental --

It was almost worth it for the time we spent,
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 switch- blade 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 till he goes insane,
It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.
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 till he goes insane,
It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.
A short sweet ride on a runaway train.
