One girl on that train
I love that train, you know what
I love the train
If I got to go let me go on the train then the bus

Mm, L.A
Proved too much for the man (Too much for the man)
(He couldn't make it)
So he's leavin' the life
He's come to know, ooh
(He said he's goin')
He said he's goin' back to find
(Goin' back to find)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago

He's leaving (Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on a midnight train)
Yeah, yeah
Said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find)
To a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride)
Oh yes he is
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

And I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo, woo)
I'd rather live in his world (Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(That world is his)
(His and hers alone)

He kept dreamin' (Dreamin')
Ooh, that someday 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
(Dreams don't always come true)
Oh no, uh-uh (Uh-uh, uh-uh)

So he pawned all his hopes
Oh, his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would

Oh, he's leavin'
He's gone, girl
I was making that pie for him
I know you were making that peach cobbler for him
And he done left
You took too long, boo
Y'all too crazy, boo
I love that tune
There's nothing I don't love that you might sing tonight
So let's just get it clear, okay
There you go
I'm ready, I'm ready for you, honey
Listen, listen to me
There you go
