[Lyric] Midnight Train to Georgia (Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit)

[Verse]
Mmm, 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
(He said he's goin')
He said he's goin' back to find
(Goin' back to find) Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago

[Chorus]
He's leavin' (leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on a midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find (goin' back to find)
A simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride
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)
I'd rather live in his world
Than be without him in mine
(That world is his, his and hers alone)
[Verse]
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 oh

So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his own car
Bought a one-way ticket back
To the life, the life he once knew
He said he would

[Chorus]
Oh, he's leavin' (leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train) Oh
I said he's goin' back to find (goin' back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride
Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

And I've gotta 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
(Her world is his, his and hers alone)
Ooh, he's leavin', oh (leavin')
On the midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find (Goin' back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride
Guess who's gonna be right by his side)

I've got to 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
(Her world is his, his and hers alone)

[Outro]
For love, I'm gonna board. gonna board the midnight train to ride
For love, gonna board, gotta board the midnight train to go
For love, gonna board, uh huh, the midnight train to go
My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
My love, his love, I'm gonna board the midnight train
I've gotta go, I've gotta go, I've gotta go
I've gotta go, I've gotta go
My world, his world, my man, his girl
I got to go
I got to go, oh
I got to go
My world, his world, our world, his girl
