L.A. proved
too much for the man, (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') He Said he's goin back to find (goin back to find)
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh what's left of his world,
The world he left behind Not so long ago.
He's leaving, (leavin) On that midnight train to
Georgia, (Leavin' on the midnight train)
Said he's goin' back (Goin back to find) To a simpler place and time.
(Whenever he takes that ride) Oh yes he is (Guess who's gonna be right by his side)
And I'll be with him (I know you will) On that midnight train to
Georgia, (Leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia, Woo-woo)
I'd rather live in his world (Livin in his world) Than live without him in
mine. (Their world is his, his and hers alone)
He kept dreamin' (dreamin') That someday
he'd be the 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. Uh-uh. No. Uh-uh) So he
pawned all his hopes (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) and he even
sold his old car (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) Bought a
one way ticket back To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did, He said he would. Although
he's leavin (leavin') On that midnight train to
Georgia, (Leavin' on the midnight train.)
Said he's goin' back to find (Goin back to find) A simpler place and time.
(Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side) And I'm
gonna be with him (I know you will) On that midnight train to
Georgia, (Leavin on the midnight train to Georgia. Woo-woo!)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world) Than live without him in
mine. (Their world is his, his and hers alone)
Ooh, he's leavin (leavin) On the midnight train to
Georgia (Leavin on the midnight train) Yeah, ooh lord
Said he's goin back to find (Goin back to find) Oooh, a simpler place and time.
(Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side) I've
got to be with him (I know you will) Ohhh, on that midnight
train to Georgia (Leavin on the midnight train to Georgia. Woo-woo)
I'd rather live in his world (Livin in his world) That live without him
(Her) in mine (world is his, his and hers alone)
(One love) One love (gonna board)gonna board, midnight train to ride]
One love (One love) Wanna board (gonna board) Gotta board midnight train to ride]
One love (One love) Wanna board (gonna board) Uh-huh midnight train to ride]
My world (One love) His world (gonna board) Our world is mine and his alone
My world (One love) His world (gonna board) Our world is mine and his alone
I got to go (One love) I got to go (Gonna board) I got to go (On the midnight train) hey!
(repeat, fade)
