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

(He said he's going)

He said he's going back to find

(Going back to find)

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)

Hmm, yeah

Said he's going back (going back to find)

To a simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)

Oh yes, he is (guess who′s gonna sit 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)

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)

He kept dreaming

(Dreaming)

Oh, 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 (uh-uh, no, uh-uh)

So he hung all his hopes

And he even sold his own car, hmm

Bought a one way ticket back

To the life that 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)

Hmm, yeah

Said he's going back to find, oh (going back to find)

A simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)

(Guess who′s gonna sit right by his side)

And, I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)

On that midnight train to Georgia

(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia)

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)

Yeah, oh yo

Said he's going back to find

(Going back to find)

Oh, 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)

I′d rather live in his world (live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (world, world)

(Is his, his and hers alone)

(One love) one love

(All aboard) all aboard

A midnight train to ride

(One love) one love

(All aboard) all aboard

Gotta go on the midnight train to go (midnight train to go)

(One love) one love

(All aboard) all aboard

Aha, the midnight train to go (midnight train to go)

My world (one love)

His world (all aboard)

Our world, mine and his alone (midnight train to go)

My world (one love)

Our world, mine and his alone (midnight train to go)

I've got to go (one love)
