Midnight Train to Georgia Lyrics
[00:15.28] L.A. proved too much for the man (too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
[00:26.23] So he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh (he said he's going)
[00:36.69] He said he's going back to find (going back to find)
[00:41.35] Ooh, ooh, ooh, what's left of his world
[00:46.46] The world he left behind not so long ago
[00:53.52]
[00:56.21] He's leaving (leaving)
[01:00.48] On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah (leaving on the midnight train)
[01:07.37] Said he's going back (going back to find)
[01:12.29] To a simpler place and time, oh yes, he is (whenever he takes that ride)
[01:15.71] (Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)
[01:18.40] And I'll be with him (I know you will)
[01:21.92] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)
[01:29.49] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
[01:32.66] Than live without him in mine (her world is his, his and hers alone)
[01:40.62] He kept dreaming (dreaming)
[01:44.13] Ooh, that some day he'd be a star (a superstar, but he didn't get far)
[01:50.95] But he sure found out the hard way
[01:53.50] That dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true), oh no, uh, uh
[02:01.21] So he pawned on his horse (woo, woo, woo-woo)
[02:08.34] And even sold his old car (woo, woo, woo-woo)
[02:12.00] Bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew
[02:19.04] Oh, yes he did, he said he would
[02:21.92] Oh-oh, he's leaving (leaving)
[02:25.18] On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah (leaving on a midnight train)
[02:30.31] Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
[02:37.64] Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh, yeah
[02:43.02] And I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)
[02:47.03] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)
[02:54.71] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
[02:57.94] Than live without him in mine (her world is his, his and hers alone)
[03:05.38] Ooh, he's leaving (leaving)
[03:08.30] On the midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train)
[03:12.58] Yeah, ooh y'all
[03:14.68] Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
[03:19.25] Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh y'all, uh-huh (whenever he takes that ride)
[03:23.14] (Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)
[03:25.59] I've got to be with him (I know you will)
[03:29.04] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)
[03:36.51] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
[03:40.09] Than live without him in mine (her world is his, his and hers alone)
[03:47.95] For love, gonna board the midnight train to ride
[03:52.32] For love, gonna board, gotta board the midnight train to go
[03:57.52] For love, gonna board, uh huh, the midnight train to go
