Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics By Gladys Knight And The Pips

    mmmm la
    proved too much for the man
    too much for the man he couldn’t make it
    so he’s leavin’ the life he’s come to know
    he said he’s goin
    he said he’s goin’ back to find
    goin back to find
    ooh ooh ooh what’s left of his world
    the world he left behind
    not so long ago

    he’s leaving leavin
    on that midnight train to georgia
    leavin on a midnight train
    said he’s goin’ back goin back to find
    to a simpler place and time
    whenever he takes that ride guess who’s gonna be right by his side
    oh yes he is

    and i’ll be with him i know you will
    on that midnight train to georgia
    leaving on a midnight train to georgia woo woo
    i’d rather live in his world
    than live without him in mine
    that world is his his and hers alone

    he kept dreamin’ dreamin
    ooh that someday he’d be a star
    a superstar but he didn’t get far
    but he sure found out the hard way
    that dreams don’t always come true
    dreams don’t always come true
    oh no ah ah uh uh no uh uh

    so he pawned all his hopes
    and he even sold his old car
    bought a one way ticket back
    to the life he once knew
    oh yes he did

    he said he would
    oh oh he’s leavin leavin
    on that midnight train to georgia
    leaving on a midnight train

    said he’s goin’ back to find goin back to find
    oh a simpler place and time
    whenever he takes that ride guess who’s gonna be right by his side
    i’m gonna be with him
    i know you will
    on that midnight train to georgia
    leaving on a midnight train to georgia woo woo
    i’d rather live in his world live in his world
    than live without him in mine
    her world is his his and hers alone

    ooh he’s leaving
    leaving
    on the midnight train to georgia
    leaving on the midnight train
    said he’s going back to find
    going back to find
    ooh a simpler place and time
    whenever he takes that ride guess who’s gonna be right by his side
    i’ve got to be with him
    i know you will
    on that midnight train to georgia
    leaving on a midnight train to georgia woo woo
    i’d rather live in his world
    live in his world
    than live without him in mine
    her world is his his and hers alone

    for love gonna board the midnight train to ride
    for love gonna board gotta board the midnight train to go
    for love gonna board uh huh the midnight train to go
    my world his world our world mine and his alone
    my world his world our world mine and his alone
    i got to go
