| L.A. proved too much for the girl
|
| So he’s leavin' the life
|
| She’s come to know
|
| Se said he’s goin' back to find
|
| What’s left of her world
|
| The world she left behind
|
| Not so long ago
|
| She’s leavin'
|
| On the midnight train to Georgia
|
| She’s goin' back, she’s goin' back
|
| To a simpler place in time
|
| And I’ll be with her
|
| On that midnight train to Georgia
|
| I’d rather live in her world
|
| Than live without her in mine
|
| She kept dreamin'
|
| Someday she’d be a star
|
| But she found out the hard way
|
| That dreams don’t come true
|
| So she pawned all her hopes
|
| Even sold her car
|
| She bought a one way ticket back
|
| To the life that she once knew
|
| She’s leavin'
|
| On the midnight train to Georgia
|
| She’s goin' back, she’s goin' back
|
| To a simpler place in time
|
| And I’ll be with her
|
| On that midnight train to Georgia
|
| I’d rather live in her world
|
| Than be without her in mine
|
| Yes, I’ll be with her
|
| On that midnight train to Georgia
|
| I’d rather live in her world
|
| Than be without her in mine
|
| Yes, I will |
