Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics - Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics - Aretha Franklin

L.A. proved too much for the man, 

So he's leavin' the life he's come to know, 

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 leaving, 

On that midnight train to Georgia, 

And he's goin' back 

To a simpler place and 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 

To the life he once knew, 

Oh yes he did, 

He said he would 

Be leavin 

On that midnight train to Georgia, 

And he's goin' back 

To a simpler place and 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. 

Go, gonna board, gonna board, 

Gonna board the midnight train. 

Gotta go, gonna board 

Gonna board 

Gonna board the midnight train
