Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

Midnight Train to Georgia

 Gladys Knight & The Pips

 

 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)
