Gladys Knight And The Pips Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

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)
