L.A. proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
So he's leaving a life he's come to know 
(He said he's going)
He said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia 
(Leaving on the midnight train)
Said he's going back
(Going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride)
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

And I'll be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than be without him in mine
(Her world, world, world is his, his and hers alone)

He kept dreaming (dreaming)
Ooh, that someday he'd be a star
(A superstar, but he didn't get far)
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true, oh no

So he pawned down his hopes 
And he even sold his old car 
He bought a one way ticket back 
To the life, the life he once knew
He said he would, oh, oh

He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train)

Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

And I've got to be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than be without him in mine
(Her world, world is his, his and hers alone)

Oh-oh, he's leaving (leaving)
On-on-on-on-on that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train)
Yeah
Said he's going back to find (going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

I've got to be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia) 
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than be without him in mine
(Her world is his, his and hers alone)

For love I'm gonna board
I'm gonna board the midnight train to go
For love I'm gonna board
I'm gonna board the midnight train to go
My world, his world, our world
Mine and his alone
My love, his love
I'm gonna board the midnight train to Georgia

I've got to go
I've got to go
I've got to go
Midnight train to Georgia
I've got to go
I've got to go
Midnight train to Georgia
