Lynn Anderson - 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 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 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 Gonna board the midnight train (repeat, fade)
