Lyrics
L.A. proved too much for the man
(Too much much for the man)
(He couldn't make it)
So he' leaving the life
He's come to know
(He said he' going)
He said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Ooh, ooh, 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) yeah
Said he's going back
(Going back to find)
To a simpler place and time
And I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia, hoo, hoo)
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
(My 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
(Dreams don't always come true)
No, no (uh uh) uh, uh (no, uh, uh)
So he pawned all his hopes
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
And he even sold his old car
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did, he said he would
