Ooh, LA, proved too much for the girl
(Too much for the girl)
She couldn't make it (Oooh)
So she's leaving her life mmm she's come to know oo yeah
She said she's going
She said she's going back to find
What's left of her world
The world she left behind
Not so long ago
She's leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train)
Said she's goin' back (goin' back to find)
To a simpler place in time
I'll be with her
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train)
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
(Her world is his, his and her's alone)

She kept dreamin' that someday she'd be a star
But she sure found out the hard way that dreams don't always come true
So she's pawned all her hopes and she even sold her own car
Bought a one-way ticket back to the life she once knew
Oh yes she did, she said she would

She's leavin' on that midnight train to Georgia
Said she's goin' back to find a simpler place and time
Now I'm gonna be with him on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world than live without her in mine
(Her world is his, his and her's alone)

Oh she's leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia
Said she's goin' back to find a simpler place and time
I've got to be with her on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world than live without her in mine
(Her world is his, his and her's alone)

For the love, All aboard,
Midnight train to go
For the love, all aboard, gotta board
Midnight train to go
For the love, All aboard,

My world her world I got to go
