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