Gladys Knight - Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

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,
Said 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.
Oh no, Uh uh.

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
He's leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
Said he's goin' back to find
A simpler place and time.

And I'm gonna be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.

He's leavin
On the midnight train to Georgia, yeah, Oooh y'all
Said he's goin' back to find
A simpler place and time.
And I've got to be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather 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 Oh Lord, gotta board
Gonna board the midnight train
I've got to go (etc)

My man, his world, my world, his girl, etc.
[repeat, fade]
