Midnight Train to Georgia

L.A. is just too much for him
So  he's leavin' the life we've come to know
He  said he's goin' back to find
What's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not  so long ago

He's  leaving
On the midnight train to Georgia
Goin'  back to the simpler place and time
I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
'Cause 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 found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he's pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one-way ticket back
To the life he once knew

Oh, he's leavin'
On the midnight train to Georgia
Goin' back to a simpler place and time
Well, I'm goin' with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
See, I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine

Oh, he's leavin'
On the midnight train to Georgia
Goin' back, back to a simpler place and time
Oh, I'm goin' with him
On the midnight train to Georgia
