Midnight Train to Georgia Gladys Knight & The Pips

[Verse 1]
Mm, L.A
Proved too much for the man (Too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
So he's leavin' the life
He's come to know, ooh (He said he's goin')
He said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago

[Chorus]
He's leavin' (Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leavin' on that midnight train)
Mm, yes
Said he's goin' back (Goin' back to find)
To a simpler place and time (Whenever he takes that ride)
Oh, yes, he is (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 (Leavin' on that midnight train to Georgia)
Yeah (Woo, woo)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine (Her world is his, his and hers alone)

[Verse 2]
He kept dreamin' (Dreamin')
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)
Oh, no, uh-uh (Uh-uh, no, uh-uh)
So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one-way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh, yes, he did, he said he would
