Midnight Train to Georgia

[Verse 1]

Mm, L.A. proved too much for the man

Said he's leavin' the life

He's come to know, oh

He said he's goin' back (Goin' back to find)

Oh, what's left of his world

The world he left behind not so long ago, oh

[Chorus]

He's leavin' (Leavin')

On that midnight train to Georgia (Leavin' on the midnight train), uh-huh

Said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find)

To a simpler place and time (And when he takes that ride)

Oh, yes, he is (Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

And I'll be with him (I know you will)

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

Oh (Woo, woo)

I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (Her world, her world is his, his and hers alone)

[Verse 2]

He kept dreamin' (Dreamin')

Oh, that someday he'd be a star (A superstar, but he didn't get far)

But he sure found out the hard way

That dreams don't always come true (Dreams don't always come true)

Oh, no, uh-uh (Uh-uh, no, uh-uh)

So he pawned all his hopes (Oh)

And he even sold his old car (Oh)

And ought a one-way ticket back to the life he once knew

Oh, yes, he did, he said he would

And I'll be with him (Be with him)

[Chorus]

On that midnight train to Georgia (Leavin' on that midnight train)

Oh yeah, oh Lord

Said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find)

A simpler place and time (And when he takes that ride)

Oh yes is, he said he would (Guess who's 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 to Georgia)

Oh (Woo, woo)

I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (Her world is his, his and hers alone)

Oh, in mine
