LA proved too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the life [bad word] 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 [bad word] [bad word] 
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
