Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

Artist: Gladys Knight & The Pips

L.A. proved too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.
He's leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
And 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 dreamin'
That someday he'd 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 he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did,
He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
Go, gonna board, gonna board,
Gonna board the midnight train.
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
(repeat, fade)

by Princessandthepea on 10/10/2008 3:48pm Love it, love it, love it!!!! Enough said!!!!
by tracyflick on 10/20/2008 8:38am I have always loved this song, but the lyrics are super-depressing. I get that things didn't work out for him in LA, and that sucks, but you have to keep working for your dreams. I mean, what exactly happened to this guy in LA? How was it too much for the man? What did he do? I want answers.
by Romeo on 12/18/2008 6:38am Well Tracyflicks, apparently he went to L.A., like so many do, with unrealistic expectations, that the city and the world were waiting just for him...Not realising that you usually need to work hard for a long period of time to make it...don't think he did, cause "he sure found out the hard way,That dreams don't always come true" .... A great fantastic lyric, about true love and sacrifice on her part...
by Bebe on 2/4/2009 9:00am Such a sweet sweet song. For Angel :)
by Love story on 2/20/2009 4:11pm This song helped my mom decide to go with my dad when he was leaving for college. Because she would rather be in his world than live without him in hers.
by heartbroken1 on 2/28/2009 10:17am this song gives so much insight to the true meaning of love.if someone is willing to leave everything behind becausethe one they love didnt make it then that is some love. but truthfully when you love someone like that sacrifice is no problem
