L.A. proved 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
|
Ooh, what's left of his world
|
The world he left behind
|
Not so long ago
|
|
He's leavin'
|
On that midnight train to Georgia
|
Said 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 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
|
|
He's leavin'
|
On that midnight train to Georgia
|
Said he's goin' back to find
|
A simpler place in time
|
|
And I'm gonna be with him
|
On that midnight train to Georgia
|
I'd rather live in his world
|
Than be without him in mine
|
|
He's leavin'
|
On that midnight train to Georgia
|
Said he's goin' back to find
|
A simpler place in time
|
|
And I've gotta be with him
|
On that midnight train to Georgia
|
I'd rather live in his world
|
Than be without him in mine
|
|
Go, gonna board, gonna board
|
The midnight train to Georgia
|
Gonna board the midnight train
|
Gotta go, gonna board
|
Gonna board
|
Gonna board the midnight train
|
