Midnight train to Giorgia lyrics
by Gladys Knight



& Pips

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
Ooohooohooo

(He said he's goin') He said he's goin' back to find
(Goin' back to find)
Ooohooohooo, 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 that midnight train)
Mmm, yes
Said he's goin' back (Goin' back to find)
To a simpler place and time (And when he takes that ride)
Oh yes, he is (Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on that midnight train to Georgia, whoo whoo)
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)

He kept dreaming (Dreaming)
Oooh, 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(ah, ah), ah, ah (No, ah, ah)

So he pawned all his hopes (Woo, woo, woo)
And he even sold his own car (Woo, woo, woo)
Bought a one way ticket back to the life, he once knew
Oh yes, he did, he said he would

I know he's leaving (Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on that midnight train)
Yeah, oooh, y'all, said he's going back to find (Going back to find)
Oooh, a simpler place and time (Whenever he takes that ride)
Oh, yeah (Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

I've got to be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia, whoo whoo)
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)

Oooh, he's leaving (Leaving)
On the midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on the midnight train)
Yeah, oooh, y'all, said he's going back to find (Going back to find)
Oooh, a simpler place and time (Whenever he takes that ride)
Oooh, y'all, aha (Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

I've got to be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia, whoo whoo), yeaheah
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)

Hey, hey, hey (Our love)
Our love (Gonna board)
Gonna board on the midnight train and ride

Our love (Our love)
Gonna board (Gonna board)
Gotta board on the midnight train and go
