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 didHe 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
