|
L.A. proved too much for the man, |
|
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know, |
|
He said he's goin' back to find |
|
Ooh, what's left of his world, |
|
The world he left behind |
|
Not so long ago. |
|
He's leaving, |
|
On that midnight train to Georgia, |
|
And he's goin' back |
|
To a simpler place and time. |
|
And I'll be with him |
|
On that midnight train to Georgia, |
|
I'd rather live in his world |
|
Than live without him in mine. |
|
He kept dreamin' |
|
That someday he'd be a star. |
|
But he sure found out the hard way |
|
That 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 |
|
Be leavin |
|
On that midnight train to Georgia, |
|
And he's goin' back |
|
To a simpler place and time. |
|
And I'll be with him |
|
On that midnight train to Georgia, |
|
I'd rather live in his world |
|
Than live without him in mine. |
|
Go, gonna board, gonna board, |
|
Gonna board the midnight train. |
|
Gotta go, gonna board |
|
Gonna board |
|
Gonna board the midnight train |
