[00:18.15]  L.A. proved too much for the man,
[00:24.30] So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
[00:34.92] He said he's goin' back to find
[00:36.87] Ooh, what's left of his world,
[00:45.42] The world he left behind
[00:46.86] Not so long ago.
[00:55.29] He's leaving,
[00:56.22] On that midnight train to Georgia,
[01:06.45] And he's goin' back
[01:10.53] To a simpler place and time.
[01:17.40] And I'll be with him
[01:20.31] On that midnight train to Georgia,
[01:27.93] I'd rather live in his world
[01:30.96] Than live without him in mine.
[01:39.42] He kept dreamin'
[01:40.56] That someday he'd be a star.
[01:49.44] But he sure found out the hard way
[01:52.02] That dreams don't always come true.
[01:59.55] So he pawned all his hopes
[02:07.05] and he even sold his old car
[02:10.20] Bought a one way ticket
[02:11.64] To the life he once knew,
[02:17.40] Oh yes he did,
[02:18.84] He said he would
[02:24.60] Be leavin
[02:24.81] On that midnight train to Georgia,
[02:31.92] And he's goin' back
[02:32.85] To a simpler place and time.
[02:42.54] And I'll be with him
[02:48.84] On that midnight train to Georgia,
[02:53.10] I'd rather live in his world
[02:55.68] Than live without him in mine.
[03:06.00] Go, gonna board, gonna board,
[03:06.75] Gonna board the midnight train.
[03:08.40] Gotta go, gonna board
[03:11.43] Gonna board
[03:12.03] Gonna board the midnight train
[03:13.38] (repeat, fade)
