Mm, L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life, mm
He's come to know, ooh
He said he's 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', on that midnight train to Georgia
Mm, yes
Said he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time Oh,
yes, he is
And I'll be with him,
on that midnight train to Georgia
Ooh hey hey hey hey
I'd rather live in his world
Than be without him in mine
He kept dreamin', ooh
That someday he'd be a star
But he sure found out the hard way that dreams don't always come true
Oh no, Uh- uh
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
Oh, hoo, he's leavin',
on that midnight train to Georgia
hmm, yeah
Said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, a simpler place and time
Oh, yeah,
I'm gonna be with him,
on that midnight train to Georgia
Hoo,
I'd rather live in his world,
Than live without him in mine,
Ooh, he's leavin',
on the midnight train to Georgia
yeah, ooh, y'all
Said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, a simpler place and time
Ooh, y'all, uh- huh
I've got to be with him,
on that midnight train to Georgia
Ooh hey hey hey hey
I'd rather live in his world,
Than be without him in mine,
Ooh hey hey hey
