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 monay on 6/20/2008 10:27pm this is so good they should put it on american idol!
by Louisiana Guy on 6/21/2008 8:28pm This song I love the most. I would repeat this song over and over. I love this part "Ooh, what's left of his world, The world he left behind"
by titus on 7/28/2008 7:57pm heard this song this morning, had not listened to the lyrics in a long while, what a masterpiece!
by kahawachungu in Nairobi on 8/3/2008 11:31pm now that's what i call soul
by Gladys Galan on 8/14/2008 1:06pm The best romance song ever... Absolutely Incredible...
by Missy on 10/8/2008 12:08pm This song always reminds me of my Dad. He passed away last year...
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

by dianec on 10/17/2009 11:59am one of the very best songs ever. After all these years still has the same affect on my emotions. beautiful.. and yes it should be on American Idol but it would take alot to make it as good as Gladys and the Pips did.
by vito on 1/17/2010 2:08am My nickname is Pip and I've always held this song/story close to my heart. So incredible the heart and sould that goes into that song by Gladys. I'm leaving...to see her sing it in Fla.!
by Bonni on 1/31/2010 4:05pm My husband & I want to reconcile after going through some very hard times. We heard this song last night in the grocery store. The line he wanted me to hear was, "I'd rather live in his world Than live without him in mine," Oh God how I pray he knows that that is so true. I will, I will, I will...go anywhere as long as we are together!

by BabaniKia form Port Harcourt on 7/14/2010 7:11am First heard dis song in 2001 and cant stop imagining the genius that went into this masterpiece. It says a lot about what true luv and sacrifice ought to be but which alas we are missing in this age...A grrreeeeat song.
by Mr. Bill on 7/21/2010 9:31pm Everytime I here this song It makes me want to call my wife and tell her how much I love and appreciate her because she supports me in all that I do, and that's hard to find these days.
by Cordray on 8/19/2010 8:31am This is my favorite song too. OMG, doesn't get much better than this! Talk about lovin your man? Please, this is a true love song and Glady's sings it with so much passion. I love it! I'm gonna sing this one on the cruise ship next week.

by MS Sue on 9/13/2010 5:40pm LOVE LOVE THIS SONG, IT ALWAYS TAKES ME BACK. THIS SONG ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF MY BROTHER, HE PASSED AWAY AND HE LIVED IN L.A.
by Ms Sue on 9/13/2010 5:45pm Ms Knight, music really misses you. This is when music was music and you can not get this kind of style and class in a song anymore. The sound the story is classic.
by Kathryn on 10/29/2010 5:56pm What happened to good music? Today just doesn't cut it. This music has what today's music is severely lacking.....heart and soul.
by Joanna on 11/1/2010 8:01am Watching the Today Show and Neil Diamond singing this song. It will never go out of style. No matter if you have never been to Georgia, this song always stirs up good memories.
by john on 12/2/2010 4:26pm this song is beautiful
