LA 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, yeah
Leaving on the midnight train
Said he's going back
Going back to find
To a simpler place and time, oh yes he is
Whenever he takes that ride, 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 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
He kept dreaming
Dreaming
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, oh no, uh uh
Dreams don't always come true, uh uh, no, uh uh
So he pawned down his hopes
Woo, woo, woo woo
And even sold his old car
Woo, woo, woo woo
Bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew
Oh yes he did, he said he would
Oh oh, he's leaving
Leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah
Leaving on a midnight train
Said he's going back to find, ooh
Going back to find
A simpler place and time, ooh, yeah
Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side
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, ooh y'all
Leaving on the midnight train
Said he's going back to find
Going back to find
Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh y'all, uh huh
Whenever he takes that ride, 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 a midnight train to Georgia, woo woo

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