Midnight Train to Georgia (From the Deer Hunter) - Lynn Anderson

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 back

To the life he once knew,

Oh yes he did, He said he would

And now he’s leavin

On that midnight train to Georgia

He said he’s goin' back

To a simpler place and time

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
