Mmmm 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' back to find (He said he's goin')
Ooh ooh ooh what's left of his world (Goin' back to find)
The world he left behind
Not so long ago
He's leaving (Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leavin' on a midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride, 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
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than be without him in mine (World, world, it's his, his and hers alone)
He kept dreamin' (Dreamin')
Ooh that someday he'd be a 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)
Oh no!
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
He said he would
Oh oh he's leavin (Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on a midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find (Goin back to find)
Oh a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
And I've got to be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than be without him in mine (Her world is his, his and hers alone)
Ooh, he's leaving (Leavin')
On the midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on the midnight train)
Said he's going back to find (Going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
I've got to be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine (Her world is his, his and hers alone)
For love, gonna board the midnight train to ride
For love, gonna board, gotta board the midnight train to go
My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
My love, his love, I'm gonna board the midnight train to go...
