(Jim McBride - Alan Jackson)      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 made a woman to make a man a fool.      Chorus:   It's an age old story but it still holds true,   There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.   He'll loves some woman till he goes insane,   It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.      I was drunk and crazy by 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.      Chorus:   Well, It's an age old story but it still holds true,   There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.   He'll loves 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,   'Cause there ain't no future in a heart for rent.   Still she taught me something 'bout the facts of life,   That love cuts quicker than a switch- blade knife.      Chorus:   It's an age old story but it still holds true,   There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.   He'll loves some woman till he goes insane,   It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train.      Chorus:   It's an age old story but it still holds true,   There ain't no ending to what a man won't do.   He'll 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...
