L.A. proved too much for the man
He's leavin' the life，he's come to know
He's goin' back to find
What's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago
He's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place in 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 come true
So he pawned all his hopes
He even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he once knew
He's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
And he's goin' back to find
A simpler place in 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
And I'll be with him
On the midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
