L.A. proved too much for the man (he couldn`t make it...)
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know
He said he's goin' back to find (goin` 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 that midnight train)
Said he's goin' back (goin` back to find)
To a simpler place and time (whenever you take that ride)
Oh, yes he is (guess who`s gonna be right by his side)
And I'll be with him (I konw you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train to Georigia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
He kept dreaming (dreaming)
That someday 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)
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
His leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find (goin' back to find)
A simpler place and time (whenever you take that ride, guess who`s gonna be right by his side)
And I'll be with him (I konw you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train to Georigia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
he is leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find (goin' back to find)
To a simpler place and time (whenever you take that ride, guess who`s gonna be right by his side)
And I'll be with him (I konw you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train to Georigia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
Gonna board... the midnight train...
Gonna board... the midnight train...
my world, his world, our world...
my world, his world, my man, his girl...
I`ve gotta go...
