Midnight Train to Georgia

Words and Music: James. D. Weatherly

LA proved too much for the man (too much for the man) (he couldn't make it)
So he's leaving the life he's come to know (he said he's going)
He said he's going back to find (going back to find)
What's left of his world the world he left behind
Not so very long ago
Oh yeah

(Chorus)
He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train)
Oh yeah said he's going back to find (he's going back to find)
A simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)
Yes he is (guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train)
(Woohoo)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(World, is his, his and hers alone)

He kept dreaming (dreaming)
That one day 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
Oh no (uh uh uh)
So he sold all his hopes
And he even sold his own car
And bought a one way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would

(Chorus twice)

(World, is his, his and hers alone)
(All aboard one world his man her girl)
I've got to go, I've got to go (all aboard one world her man his girl)
I've got to go, I've got to go (all aboard one world her man his girl)
All aboard one world her man his girl
