Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics - Dreams - Neil Diamond

[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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
