Lyrics

[00:13.52] Baby baby don't go
[00:32.31] L.A. proved too much for the man
[00:41.90] So he's leavin' the life that he's come to know
[00:52.78] He said he's goin' back
[00:56.46] What's left of his world
[01:02.46] The world he left behind
[01:05.54] Not so long ago
[01:11.55] He's leaving (leaving)
[01:14.31] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train)
[01:22.32] He said he's goin' back (goin' back to find)
[01:25.19] To a simpler place and time (whenever he takes that ride, I'm gonna be right by his side)
[01:29.81] And I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)
[01:36.10] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train to Georgia)
[01:42.37] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
[01:44.71] Than live without him in mine
[01:51.90] He kept dreaming
[01:57.36] That someday he wound be a star (a superstar, but he didn't get far)
[02:02.14] But he sure found out the hard way
[02:05.25] That dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true)
[02:13.08] So he pawned all his hopes
[02:16.23] And he even sold that old ragged car
[02:22.96] He bought a one way ticket back
[02:25.28] To the life that he once knew
[02:29.88] He's leaving (leaving)
[02:34.41] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train)
[02:38.40] Wait for me baby I'm coming
[02:41.96] He said he's goin' back (goin' back to find)
[02:45.48] To a simpler place and time (whenever he takes that ride, I'm gonna be right by his side)
[02:50.77] And I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)
[02:56.95] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on that midnight train to Georgia)
[03:02.45] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
[03:04.70] Than live without him in mine
[03:15.49] I've gotta be on the midnight train to Georgia
[03:26.35] He is leaving
[03:34.36] On that midnight train to Georgia
[03:40.21] Gonna board... the midnight train...
