LA proved too much for the girl so she's leaving a life she's come to know she's going back to find what's left of her world The world she left behind not so long ago She's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia She's going back to find a simpler place and time I'll be with her on that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in her world, than live without her in mine she kept dreaming that some day she would be a star But she found out the hard way some dreams don't always come true So she pawned all her hopes and even sold her old car she got a one way ticket back to the life she once knew she's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia she's going back to find a simpler place and time I'm gonna be with him on that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in her world, than live without her in mine I''ll be with her on that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in her world, than live without her in mine
