NEIL DIAMOND - Midnight Train To Georgia lyrics

rate me

[Originally by Gladys Knight And The Pips]

L.A. proved 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

Ooh, what's left of his world

The world he left behind

Not so long ago

He's leavin'

On that midnight train to Georgia

Said he's goin' back

To a simpler place in 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 back

To the life he once knew

Oh yes he did

He said he would

He's leavin'

On that midnight train to Georgia

Said he's goin' back to find

A simpler place in time

And I'm gonna be with him

On that midnight train to Georgia

I'd rather live in his world

Than be without him in mine

He's leavin'

On that midnight train to Georgia

Said he's goin' back to find

A simpler place in time

And I've gotta be with him

On that midnight train to Georgia

I'd rather live in his world

Than be without him in mine

Go, gonna board, gonna board

The midnight train to Georgia

Gonna board the midnight train

Gotta go, gonna board

Gonna board

Gonna board the midnight train
