[00:15.34] L.A. proved too much for the man (too much for the man, he couldn't make it)

[00:26.22] So he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh (he said he's going)

[00:36.32] He said he's going back to find (going back to find)

[00:41.63] Ooh, ooh, ooh, what's left of his world

[00:46.16] The world he left behind not so long ago

[00:55.19] He's leaving (leaving)

[00:59.97] On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah (leaving on the midnight train)

[01:06.61] Said he's going back (going back to find)

[01:12.46] To a simpler place and time, oh yes, he is (whenever he takes that ride)

[01:15.90] (Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)

[01:18.56] And I'll be with him (I know you will)

[01:21.48] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)

[01:29.19] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)

[01:32.38] Than live without him in mine (her world is his, his and hers alone)

[01:40.61] He kept dreaming (dreaming)

[01:44.07] Ooh, that some day he'd be a star (a superstar, but he didn't get far)

[01:50.43] But he sure found out the hard way

[01:53.63] That dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true), oh no, uh, uh

[01:59.75] So he pawned on his horse (woo, woo, woo-woo)

[02:06.13] And even sold his old car (woo, woo, woo-woo)

[02:12.24] Bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew

[02:18.88] Oh, yes he did, he said he would

[02:21.80] Oh-oh, he's leaving (leaving)

[02:24.72] On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah (leaving on a midnight train)

[02:31.36] Said he's going back to find (going back to find)

[02:36.94] Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh, yeah

[02:44.38] And I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)

[02:47.30] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)

[02:54.26] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)

[02:57.73] Than live without him in mine (her world is his, his and hers alone)

[03:05.20] Ooh, he's leaving (leaving)

[03:08.11] On the midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train)

[03:12.89] Yeah, ooh y'all

[03:15.55] Said he's going back to find (going back to find)

[03:19.27] Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh y'all, uh-huh (whenever he takes that ride)

[03:23.25] (Guess who's gonna be right by his side?)

[03:25.64] I've got to be with him (I know you will)

[03:29.09] On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)

[03:36.53] I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)

[03:43.97] Than live without him in mine (her world is his, his and hers alone)

[03:48.23] For love, gonna board the midnight train to ride

[03:53.01] For love, gonna board, gotta board the midnight train to go

[03:58.08] For love, gonna board, uh huh, the midnight train to go

[04:03.15] My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone

[04:08.20] My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone

[04:13.53] I got to go, I got to go

[04:15.92] I got to go, hey

[04:18.59] I got to go, I got to go

[04:22.87] My world, his world, my man, his girl

[04:29.00] I got to go, I got to go, oh

[04:32.19] I got to go

[04:34.08] My world, his world, our world, his girl
