Mark Burnett - Midnight Train To Georgia lyrics

[Verse 1] LA Proves to much for the man (to much for the man) (He couldn't make it) So he's leaving a life soon That he's come to know He said he's going back to find What's left of his world A world he left behind, yes Not so long ago [Chorus] He's leaving (leaving) On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train) I gotta go He said he's going back to find (going back to find) Ooh, a simple place in time I've got to be with him Yes, ooh On that midnight train to Georgia Yeah, yeah I'd rather live in his world Then live without him in mine Yeah, ooh [Verse 2] He kept dreaming (dreaming) Ooh, that some day he'd be a star (a superstar) Yes he did But he sure found out the hard way That dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true) Oh no (Uh uh, no no, uh uh) So he pawned all his hopes And even so, he looked up On a one way ticket back To a life that he once knew Oh yes he did, he said he would [Chorus] He's leaving (leaving) On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train) I gotta go Said he's going back to find (going back to find) Ooh, a simple place in time I've got to be with him Yes, ooh On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train to Georgia) Yeah, yeah I'd rather live in his world Then live without him in mine Yeah, yeah, ooh I've gotta go I've gotta go Yes, on that midnight train I've gotta go I've gotta go Yeah, on the midnight train to Georgia Yes
