L.A. proved too much for the girl So she's leavin' the life she's come to know She's goin' back to find What's left in the world The world she left behind Not so long ago
She's leavin' On that 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' That someday she'd be a star But she found out the hard way Some dreams don't come true So she pawned all her hopes He even sold the car She bought a one way ticket back To the life that she once knew
She's leavin' On that midnight train to Georgia She's goin' back She's goin' back 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
Yes I'll be with her On that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in her world Than live without her in mine Yes I would
