Shoo-wap, do-do-do, do-do
Shoo-wap, do-do-do, do-do
Ooh, la, it proved too much for the girl(too much for the girl)
She couldn't make it (oooh)
Now she's leaving her life that she's come to know
She's leaving (leaving, ooh)
On a midnight train to georgia(leaving on a midnight train to georgia)
I said she's goin'
She's goin' back to find a simpler place in time(a simpler place in time, goin' now to stay right by her side)
Now I'll be with her
On that midnight train to georgia(leaving on a midnight train to georgia)
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine(her world is his, his and her's alone)(wap-do-do-do, do do)(shoo-wap, do-do-do, do-do-dooo)
