Midnight Train To Georgia
Gladys Knight & The Pips
Midnight Train To Georgia (Original Version)
L.A. proved too much for the man (too much for the man)
(He couldn't make it), so he's leaving a life, he's come to know, ooh, ooh
(He said he's going), he said heÂ’s going back to find (going back to find), ooh ooh
What's left of his world
The world he left behind, not so long ago, oh
He's leaving (leaving) on that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train)
Yeah, said he's going back, (going back to find) to a simpler place and time
Oh yes, he is, no, I'll be with him (I know you will) on that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia, ooh, ooh)
I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine (world, world)
He kept dreaming (dreaming) that some day he would be a star
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true, ah, ah)
So he pawned all his hopes (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) and even sold his old car
For a one way ticket back, to the life he once knew
Oh yes he did, he said he would
He's leaving (leaving) on that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train)
Yeah, said he's going back to find (going back to find) oh, a simpler place and time
No, no, I'll be with him (I know you will) on that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia, ooh, ooh)
I'd rather live in his world, (live in his world) than live without him in mine (world, world)
Ooh, he's leaving, (leaving) on the midnight train to Georgia (on the midnight train to Georgia)
Yes, I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine
Said he's going back to find a simpler place and time
I've got to be with him (I know you will) on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine (world, world)
My love, gonna board the midnight train to Georgia (x3)
My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone (x2)
I've got to go (x5)
My world, his world, my man, his girl
