L.A. proved too much for the man, So he's leavin' the life 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 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. 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 To the life he once
knew, Oh yes he did, He said he would Be leavin On that midnight
train to Georgia, And he's goin' back To 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. Go, gonna board, gonna
board, Gonna board the midnight train. Gotta go, gonna board Gonna
board Gonna board the midnight train (repeat, fade)
