L.A. proved too much for the man (too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
So he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh (he said he's going)
He said he's going back to find (going back to find)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago
ย
He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah (leaving on the midnight train)
Said he's going back (going back to find)
To a simpler place and time, oh yes, he is (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, woo, woo)
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)
He kept dreaming (dreaming)
Ooh, that some day 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, uh, uh
So he pawned on his horse (woo, woo, woo-woo)
And even sold his old car (woo, woo, woo-woo)
Bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew
Oh, yes he did, he said he would
Oh-oh, he's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah (leaving on a midnight train)
Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh, yeah
And I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)
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)
Ooh, he's leaving (leaving)
On the midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train)
Yeah, ooh y'all
Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh y'all, uh-huh (whenever he takes that ride)
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)
I've got to be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)
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
For love, gonna board, uh huh, the midnight train to go
My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
I got to go, I got to go
I got to go, hey
I got to go, I got to go
My world, his world, my man, his girl
I got to go, I got to go, oh
I got to go
My world, his world, our world, his girl
