Midnight Train to Georgia
L.A. proved too much for the girl
So she's leavin' the life
She's come to know
She said she's goin' back to find
What's left of her world
The world she left behind
Not so long ago
Oh, she's leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
Said she's goin' back to find a simpler place and time
Oh, yes she is
I'll be with her on that midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
'Cause I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
In my world, in my world
She kept dreamin'
That someday she'd be a star
But she sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So she's pawned all her hopes
And even sold her own car
Bought a one-way ticket
Back to the life she once knew
Oh, yes she did
She said she would and
She's leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
Said she's goin' back to find a simpler place and time
Oh, yes she is
I'll be with her on that midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
'Cause I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
In my world, in my world.
So she's leavin' the life
She's come to know
She said she's goin' back to find
What's left of her world
The world she left behind
Not so long ago
Oh, she's leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
Said she's goin' back to find a simpler place and time
Oh, yes she is
I'll be with her on that midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
'Cause I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
In my world, in my world
She kept dreamin'
That someday she'd be a star
But she sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So she's pawned all her hopes
And even sold her own car
Bought a one-way ticket
Back to the life she once knew
Oh, yes she did
She said she would and
She's leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
Said she's goin' back to find a simpler place and time
Oh, yes she is
I'll be with her on that midnight train to Georgia
Oh, yes
'Cause I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
In my world, in my world.
