Midnight Train to Georgia
Gladys Knight & The Pips
L.A. proved too much for the man,
So he s leavin the life he s come to know,
He said he s goin back to find
Ooh, what s left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.
He s leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he s goin back
To a simpler place and time.
And I ll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I d rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
He kept dreamin
That someday he d be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don t always come true.
So he pawned all his hopes
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did,
He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he s goin back
To a simpler place and time.
And I ll be with him
On that midnigh
