Midnight Train to Georgia
[Intro]
Alright, we're gonna get on the "Midnight Train to Georgia."
[Verse 1]
Mmm 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
(He said he's goin')
He said he's goin' back to find
(Goin' back to find)
What's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so very long ago
[Chorus]
He's leaving (Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on a midnight train, oh yeah)
Said he's goin' back (Goin' back to find)
A simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride)
Oh yes he is
(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 hoo)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(That world is his, his and hers alone)
[Verse 2]
He kept dreamin' (Dreamin')
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! ah ah (Uh uh, no, uh uh)
So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life that he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would
[Chorus]
I know he's leaving (Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on a midnight train, oh yeah)
Said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find)
A simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride)
Oh yes he is
(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 hoo)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(That world is his, his and hers alone)
He's leavin' (Leavin')
On a midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on a midnight train, oh yeah)
Said he's goin' back to find (He's goin' back to find)
A simpler place and time
(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 hoo)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(That world is his, his and hers alone)
World is his, his and hers alone
[Outro]
All aboard, one world, her man, his girl
All aboard, one world, her man, his girl
(I've got to go, I've got to go, I've got to go)
All aboard, one world, her man, his girl
(I've got to go, I've got to go, I've got to go right now)
All aboard, one world, her man, his girl
All aboard, one world, her man, his girl
Gail and Jimmy. Thanks y'all.
