L. A. proved too much for the man, 
-6   7   -7  8   -7*  -7     -7    -7  -6  7__ 
So he's leav-in' the life he's come to know, 
-6  -6   7   -7  8   8   -7  8__ 
He said he's go-in' back to find 
8-7*-7  7     -7  -6 -6    5 
Ooh,  what's left of his world, 
5   -6  7   -7  -6  5 
The world he left be-hind 
-7 -7*  8      -7*-7   7__     
Not so long a-go. 
-9    -9    8 
He's leav-in’, 
8   8  -7* -7  7  -6  -7  8 
On that mid-night train to Geor-gia, 
-6  7  -7  8   8 
And he's go-in' back 
-7 8  -9  -9   -9      9   9___ 
To a sim-pler place and time. 
-10    -10 -9  -9    8 
And I'll be with him 
8   8  -7*  -7   7  -6  -7    8 
On that mid-night train to Geor-gia, 
-5  -6  7  -7  -7*  -7  7   -6 
I'd rath-er live in his world 
-5    -6  7 -7   -6  7 -6___ 
Than live with-out 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.
