Gladis Knight And The Pips Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

L.A. proved too much for the man,
too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
He said he's goin'
He said he's goin' back to find
goin' back to find
Ooh, 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 that midnight train
And he's goin' back
goin' back to find
To a simpler place and time.
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Leaving, On that midnight train to Georgia wo wo
I'd rather live in his world
live in his world
Than live without him in mine.

He kept dreamin'
dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true.
That dreams don't always come true. Ah ah ah ah ah
So he p___ed all his hopes
Woo woo woo woo
and he even sold his old car
Woo woo woo woo
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did,
He said he would
is leavin
leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Leaving, On that midnight train
And he's goin' back to find
goin' back to find
To a simpler place and time.
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Leaving, On that midnight train to Georgia wo wo
I'd rather live in his world
live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
Go, gonna board, gonna board,
Gonna board the midnight train.
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
