Gladys Knight & The Pips Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

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 oh oh
(He said he's going)
He said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Oh, oh, oh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago

He's leaving (Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on a midnight train)
Oh yeah Said he's going back
Going back to find)
To a simpler place and time
And when he takes that ride)
Yes he is
Guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I'll be with him
I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, whoo whoo)
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
world, world, it's his, his and hers alone)
He kept dreaming (Dreaming)
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 sold all his hopes (uh uh, uh uh)
And he even sold his own car (uh uh, uh uh)
And bought a one-way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would

I know he's leaving (Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on a midnight train)
yeah
Said he's going back to find
Going back to find)
A simpler place and time
And when he takes that ride)
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 the midnight train to Georgia, whoo whoo)
I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
world, world, it's his, his and hers alone)

Oh he's leaving (leaving)
On a midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on a midnight train)
Oh yeah
He said he's going back to find
He's going back to find)
A simpler place and time
And when 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, whoo whoo)
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine

(World, world) (is his, his and hers alone)
(world is his) (his and hers alone)
(all aboard) (one world) (her man, his girl)
I've got to go (all aboard)
Ive got to go (one world)
I've got to go (her man, his girl)
I've got to go (all aboard)
I've got to go (one world)
I've got to go right now (her man, his girl)
(all aboard) (one world)
(her man, his girl)
all aboard) (one world)
(her man, his girl)
