LA proved too much for the man
He couldnt make it, so he's leaving a life he's come to know
He said he's going back to find what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's going back to find a simpler place and time
I'll be with him on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine

He kept dreaming that some day he would be a star
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he pawned all his hopes and even sold his old car
For a one way ticket back to the life he once knew
Oh yes he did, he said he would

He's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's going back to find a simpler place and time
I'm gonna be with him on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine

World, world, it's his and her's alone
He's leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
Said he's going back to find a simpler place and time
I've got to be with him on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine

My love, gonna board the midnight train to Georgia [3x]

My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone [2x]

I've got to go [5x]

My world, his world, my man, his girl
