Lyrics
L.A. proved too much for the man (Too much for the man, he couldn't make it) So he's leavin' the life he's come to know, 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 leavin' (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 in time (Whenever 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) 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) He kept dreamin' (dreamin') Ooh, 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 (ooh ooh ooh) And he even sold his old car (woo woo woo) 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 in time (Whenever he takes that ride) ooh (Guess who's 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 the midnight train to Georgia) 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, he's leavin' (leavin') On the midnight train to Georgia (Leavin' on the midnight train) Yeah, ooh, y'all Said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find) Ooh, a simpler place in time (Whenever he takes that ride) ooh (Guess who's gonna be right by his side) And I've got to be with him (I know you will) On that midnight train to Georgia (Leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia, ooh ooh) 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) gonna board The midnight train to ride For love (for love) gonna board (gonna board) Gotta board the midnight train to go For love (for love) gonna board (gonna board) The midnight train to go My world (for love), his world (gonna board) Our world (the midnight train to go) now I'm his alone My world (for love), his world (gonna board) Our world (the midnight train to go) now I'm his alone I've got to go (for love), I've got to go (gonna board) I've got to go (the midnight train to go) hey I've got to go (for love), I've got to go (gonna board) (The midnight train to go) My world (for love), his world (gonna board) My man (the midnight train to go) his girl I've got to go (for love), I've got to go (gonna board) (The midnight train to go) I've got to go My world (for love), his world (gonna board) Our world
