Hmm... L.A proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man he couldn't make it)
So he's leaving the life he's come to know ooo.....
(He's said he's going)
He said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Ooo, ooo, oo, what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago
He's leavin' (leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on that midnight train) Hmm, Yeah
Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
To a simpler place in 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
(Leavin' on that midnight train to Georgia.... Woh Woh)
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 got dreamin' (dreamin')
Ooo that someday he'd be the 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) Uh uh (no ah ah)
So he turned on his hopes (oo oo oo)
And even sold his old car (oo oo oo) Hmm
Bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew, oh yes he did
He said he would ah ah....
He's leavin' (leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on that midnight train) Hmm, Yeah
Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
Oh, a simpler place in time
(Whenever he takes that ride guess who's gonna be right by his side)
And I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on that midnight train to Georgia.... Woh Woh)
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's leavin' (leavin')
On the midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train) Hmm, Yeah
Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
Oh, a simpler place in time
(Whenever he takes that ride guess who's gonna be right by his side)
And I've got to be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on that midnight train to Georgia.... Woh Woh)
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) Hey.....
(for love) gonna board, (gonna board) gonna board
* The midnight train and ride for love
* (the midnight train for love)
(for love) gonna board (gonna board) got to board
* The midnight train and ride for love
* (the midnight train for love)
(for love) gonna board (gonna board) got to board
* The midnight train and ride for love
* (the midnight train for love)
(for love) gonna board (gonna board) got to board
