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
What's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long agoHe's leavin'
On that midnight train to georgia
Said he's goin' back to find
The simpler place and timeI'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mineHe kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star
But he sho' found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come trueSo he's pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his own car
Bought a one-way ticket back
To the life he once knewSaid he's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's goin' back
To find the simpler place and timeI'm gonna be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mineOh, he's leavin'
On the midnight train to Georgia
Said he's goin' back to find
The simpler place and timeI've got to be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mineAll aboard, all aboard, all aboard
On the midnight train to Georgia
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go
