L.A. proved too much for the man He's leavin' the life,he's come to know He's goin' back to find What's left of his world The world he left behind not so long ago He's leavin' On that midnight train to Georgia And he's goin' back To a simpler place in 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 come true So he pawned all his hopes He even sold his old car Bought a one way ticket back To the life he once knew He's leavin' On that midnight train to Georgia And he's goin' back to find A simpler place in 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 And I'll be with him On the midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in his world Than live without him in mine
