Midnight Train to Georgia

L.A. proved too much for the man (Too much for the man, he couldn't make it)

So he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh

(He said he's going) He said he's going back to find

(Going back to find) Ooh, what's left of his world

The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leaving (Leaving)

On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on a midnight train)

Yeah

Said he's going back (Going back to find)

To a simpler place in time (Whenever he takes that ride)

Oh, yes, he is (Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)

I'll be with him (I know you will)

On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on that midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)

Yeah

I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (Her world is his, his and hers alone)

He kept dreamin' (Dreamin')

Ooh, that some day, he'd be a star (A superstar, but he didn't get far)

But he sure found out the hard way

That dreams don't always come true (Dreams don't always come true)

Oh, no (Uh-uh)

Uh-uh (No, uh-uh)

So he pawned all his hopes (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)

And he even sold his old car (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Bought a one-way ticket back to the life he once knew

Oh, yes, he did, he said he would

I know he's leaving (Leaving)

On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on that midnight train)

Yeah, said he's going back to find (Going back to find)

Ooh, a simpler place in time (Whenever he takes that ride)

Ooh, yeah (Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)

Now, I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)

On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)

I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (Her world is his, his and hers alone)

Ooh, he's leaving (Leaving)

On the midnight train to Georgia, yeah (Leaving on the midnight train)

Ooh, y'all, said he's going back to find (Going back to find)

Ooh, a simpler place in time (Whenever he takes that ride)

Ooh, y'all (Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)

I've got to be with him (I know you will)

On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on that midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)

Oh, hey

I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (Her world is his, his and hers alone)

(For love, gonna board the midnight train and ride) For love, gonna board the midnight train and ride

For love, gonna board, gotta board the midnight train and go (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

For love, gonna board, uh-huh, the midnight train and go (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

I've got to go, I've got to go, I've got to go, hey (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

I've got to go, I've got to go (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

My world, his world, my man, his girl (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

I've got to go, I've got to go, oh, I've got to go (For love, gonna board the midnight train and go)

My world, his world, our world
