Joan Osborne

Midnight Train To Georgia

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

Ohhh what's left of his world

The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leavin'

On that midnight train to Georgia

Said he's goin' back to find

A simpler place and time

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'

Ohhh that someday he'd be a star,

But he sure found out the hard way

That 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'

On that midnight train to Georgia

He said he's goin' back to find

A simpler place and time

I'll be with him

On that midnight train to Georgia

Ohhh I'd rather live in his world

Than live without him in mine

All aboard on a midnight train to Georgia

I gotta be with him on a midnight train to Georgia

On a midnight train said

I gotta be with him

Ohhh I gotta be with him on a midnight train to Georgia

I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go to a midnight train to Georgia

On a midnight train to Georgia
