L.A. proved too much for the girl
So she's leavin' the life [bad word] to know
She's goin' back to find
What's left in the world
The world she left behind
Not so long ago

She's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
She's goin' back
She's goin' back
To a simpler place in time

And I'll be with her
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine

She kept dreamin'
That someday she'd be a star
But she found out the hard way
Some dreams [bad word] [bad word] 
So she pawned all her hopes
He even sold the car
She bought a one way ticket back
To the life that she once knew

She's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
She's goin' back 
She's goin' back 
simpler place in time

And I'll be with her
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine

Yes I'll be with her
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
Yes I would
