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

What's left of his world

The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leavin'

On that midnight train to georgia

Said he's goin' back to find

The simpler place and time

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 sho' found out the hard way

That dreams don't always come true

So he's pawned all his hopes

And he even sold his own car

Bought a one-way ticket back

To the life he once knew

Said he's leavin'

On that midnight train to Georgia

Said he's goin' back

To find the simpler place and time

I'm gonna be with him

On that midnight train to Georgia

I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine

Oh, he's leavin'

On the midnight train to Georgia

Said he's goin' back to find

The simpler place and time

I've got to be with him

On that midnight train to Georgia

I'd rather live in his world

Than live without him in mine

All aboard, all aboard, all aboard

On the midnight train to Georgia

I got to go, I got to go, I got to go
