Lyrics

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') 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 leavin' On that midnight train to Georgia Said he's goin' back To a simpler place in 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 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 He said he would He's leavin' On that midnight train to Georgia Said he's goin' back to find A simpler place in time And I'm gonna be with him On that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in his world Than be without him in mine He's leavin' On that midnight train to Georgia Said he's goin' back to find A simpler place in time And I've gotta be with him On that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in his world Than be without him in mine Go, gonna board, gonna board The midnight train to Georgia Gonna board the midnight train Gotta go, gonna board Gonna board Gonna board the midnight train
