Gladys Knight & the Pips - Midnight Train To Georgia lyrics

rate me

Mmmmmm.

L.A. proved too much for the man.

(Too much for the man. He wouldn't make it.)

So he's leaving the life, mmmmm, he's come to know. Oooooooooh.

(He said he's going.)

He said he's going back to find (Going back to find.)

Ooooooooh, what's left of his world.

The world he left behind not so long ago.

He's leaving (Leaving) on the midnight train to Georgia.

(Leaving on the midnight train.) Mmmmm. Yeah.

Said he's going back (Going 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.

I'll be with him (I know you will.) on the midnight train to Georgia. Ehhhhh, eh, eh, eh, eh.

(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia. Whoo whoo!)

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.)

He kept dreaming (Dreaming),

Oooh, that someday he'd be a star.

(A superstar, but he didn't get far.)

'Cause he sure found out the hard way that dreams don't always come true.

(Dreams don't always come true.) No, no. Uhn-uhn.

(Uhn-uhn. No. Uhn-uhn.)

So he turned down his hopes (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)

And he even sold his own car, mmmm,

(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)

For the one-way ticket back to the life he once knew.

Oh, yes he did. He said he would.

Oh, oh, he's leaving (Leaving) on the midnight train to Georgia.

(Leaving on the midnight train.) Mmmm. Yeah.

He said he's going back to find (Going back to find),

Oooh, a simpler place and time. Oooh. Yeah.

(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 the midnight train to Georgia. Oooh.

(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia. Whoo whoo!)

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.)

Ooooooh, he's leaving (Leaving) on the midnight train to Georgia.

(Leaving on the midnight train.) Yeah. Oooh, y'all.

He said he's going back to find (Going back to find),

Ooooooh, a simpler place and time. Oooh, yeah. Uh huh.

(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. Eh, eh, eh, heh, heh, heh.

(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia. Whoo whoo!)

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.)

Ehhhhh, eh, hey, hey.

(One love) One love (gone aboard) gone aboard on the midnight train to ride.

One love (One love) gone aboard (gone aboard),

Gone aboard on the midnight train to go.

One love (One love) gone aboard (gone aboard),

Uh huh, the midnight train to go.

My world (One love), his world (gone aboard),

Our world, mine and his alone. (the midnight train to go.)

My world (One love), his world (gone aboard),

Our world, mine and his alone. (the midnight train to go.)

I got to go, I got to go, I got to go. Hey.

(One love gone aboard the midnight train to go.)

I got to go, I got to go. Mmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm.

(One love gone aboard the midnight train to go.)

My world (One love), his world (gone aboard),

My man, his girl. (the midnight train to go.)

I got to go, I got to go. Oooh. I got to go.

(One love gone aboard the midnight train to go.)

My world (One love), his world (gone aboard),

My man, his girl. (the midnight train to go.)
