She said she's leaving On that midnight train to Georgia Said she's going back To a simpler place and time Oh yes she is 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's been dreaming That some day she'd be a star But she sure found out the hard way, That dreams don't always come true, no. So she pawned all his hopes She even sold her old car For a one way ticket back to the life she once knew Oh yes she did, she said she would She's leaving On that midnight train to Georgia Yeah, said she's going back to find A simpler place and time I'm gonna be with her On that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in her world, Than live without her in mine She's leaving On the midnight train to Georgia She's going back to find A simpler place and time I am going to be with her (I know you will) On that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in her world, Than live without her in mine Her world, my world, our world I've got to go (x5) My world, her world, our world
