Midnight Train To Georgia

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

(too much for the man, he didn't make it)

So he's leavin' the life

he's come to know, ooh ooh

(he said he's goin')

He said he's goin' back to find

(goin' back to find)

Ooh ooh ooh, what's left of his world

The world he left behind

not so long ago

He's leaving (leavin')

on that midnight train to Georgia

(leavin' on the midnight train)

Yeah, said he's goin' back

(goin' back to find)

to a simpler place and time

(a simpler place and time)

Oh yes he is

(gonna be right by his side)

And I'll be with him

(I know you will)

on that midnight train to Georgia

(leavin' on a midnight train, wooh wooh)

I'd rather live in his world

(live in his world)

than live without him in mine

(world, world, his, his and his alone)

He kept dreamin' (dreamin')

Ooh, that someday he'd be a star

(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, uh-uh)

Uh-uh, no

So he pawned all his hopes

(ooh ooh ooh ooh)

and he even sold his old car

(ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Bought a one way ticket back

to the life he once knew

Oh yes he did

He said he would, oh oh

He's leavin (leavin')

on that midnight train to Georgia

(leavin' on the midnight train)

Yeah, said he's goin' back to find

(goin' back to find)

ooh, a simpler place and time

(a simpler place and time)

(yes I'm gonna be right by his side)

And I'm gonna be with him

(I know you will)

on that midnight train to Georgia

(leavin' on a midnight train, wooh wooh)

I'd rather live in his world

(live in his world)

than live without him in mine

(world, world, his, his and his alone)

Oh hey hey

Go, gonna board, gonna board

the midnight train to ride

Gonna board (gonna board)

Gonna board (gonna board)

Gonna board (gonna board)

the midnight train to Georgia

Uh huh, gonna board, gonna board

Gonna board (gonna board)

the midnight train to Georgia

My world, his world, our world

the midnight train to Georgia

I've got to go

I've got to go

I've got to go

Gonna board the midnight train
