"Midnight Train To Georgia"


L.A. proved too much for the man,
He couldn't make it
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
He said he's goin', said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.
He's leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Said he's goin' back to find
To a simpler place and time.
Oh yes he is
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true.
Oh yes he did
So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did,
He said he would
He's leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
He said he's goin' back to find
To a simpler place and time.'
Oh yes he is
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
Go, gonna board, gonna board,
Gonna board the midnight train.
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
