Midnight Train to Georgia
|
|
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 back
|
To the life he once knew,
|
Oh yes he did,He said he would
|
|
And now he's leavin
|
On that midnight train to Georgia
|
He said he's goin' back
|
To a simpler place and time
|
|
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
|
