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
The Lord, came a woman to make a man a fool
It's an age old story but it still holds true
There ain't no ending to what a man won't do
He loves 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 and she was gone
It's an age old story but it still holds true
There ain't no ending to what a man won't do
He loves some woman till he goes insane
It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train
It was almost worth it for the time we spent
Cause there ain't no future in a heart for rent
Still she taught me something about the facts of life
That love cuts quicker than a switch-blade knife
It's an age old story but it still holds true
There ain't no ending to what a man won't do
He loves 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 ending to what a man won't do
He loves some woman till he goes insane
It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train
A short sweet ride on a runaway train
