Midnight Train To Georgia

Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life that he's come to know
He said he's goin' back to find, oh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leavin'
(Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train)

Said he's goin' back to find
(Goin' back to find)
A simpler place and time
(I'm gonna be right by his side)

I'll be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train)

I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(My world is his)

He kept dreamin'
Oh, that someday he'd be a star
(Superstar, but he didn't get far)
But he sure found out the hard way
And dreams don't always come true

So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he used to know, oh yes, he did

Now, now, he's leavin'
(Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train)

He said he's goin' back to find
(Goin' back to find)
A simpler place and time
(I'm gonna be right by his side)

I'll be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train)

I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(My world is his)

All aboard on the midnight train to Georgia
I gotta be with him
On the midnight train to Georgia
Midnight train, said, I got to be with him

Got to be with him on the midnight train to Georgia
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go
To the midnight train to Georgia
On the midnight train to Georgia
