Aretha Franklin Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

[Intro]
Baby baby, don't go, ooh
Don't, baby baby, don't, don't, don't, don't go

[Verse 1]
L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life that he's come to know, whoa-oh
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago

[Chorus]
He's leaving (Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train)
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia
He said he's goin' back
(Going back to find)
To a simpler place and time
I've gotta be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo woo)
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
(My world is his, his and hers alone)
[Verse 2]
He kept dreamin', yeah
That someday he'd be a star
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true (No, no)
So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold that old raggedy hoopty of a car
He bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew [Chorus]
He's leaving (Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train)
Oh, I love you, baby, I'm comin'
He said he's goin' back
(Going back to find)
To a simpler place and time
I've gotta be with him
Yeah, on that midnight train
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo woo)
I gotta be on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, I gotta be on that midnight, midnight
On the midnight, mid-mid-mid-mid-midnight train to Georgia
Yeah, Georgia
He's leaving
He's leaving on the midnight
On the midnight, mid-mid-mid-mid-midnight train to Georgia
Oh yeah
On the midnight, yeah, midnight, yeah yeah
Hold up, track one, I'm comin', yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, on the midnight, yeah, midnight

Go, gonna board, gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
