Lyrics: 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, 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
And he's goin' back to find a simpler place and time
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
(A superstar but he didn't get far)
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 once knew
Oh yes he did

And 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
I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine

All aboard on the midnight train to Georgia
I gotta be with him on the midnight train to Georgia
Ooh, midnight train
Said I gotta be with him
I gotta be with him on that midnight train to Georgia
I got to go, I got to go
I got to go on that midnight train to Georgia
