Midnight train to Georgia

Uitvoering: Gladys Knight & The Pips, Arrangement: Tenderland, door: Renée Geyer

L.A.,  proved too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
H’said he's goin' back to find
Oeh, what's left of his world,
The world he left behind, not so long ago.
He's leaving, yeah, on a midnight train to Georgia,
goin' back to find, a simpler place in time.
I’m gonna be there, yeah, on a 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
Dreams don't always come true.
Uh uh, no
So he burnt all his hopes, yeah
and he even sold his old car
He bought a one way ticket back
To a life he once knew,
I knew he would, he said he would (gesproken)
 
He's leavin, on a midnight train to Georgia,
Goin' back to find, a simpler place in time, yeah
I'm gonna be there, on a midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine.

All aboard, all aboard, all aboard
Midnight train is goin’
All aboard, all aboard, all aboard
Midnight train is goin’
All aboard, all aboard, all aboard
Midnight train is goin’
All aboard

He's leavin’
On a midnight train to Georgia
Goin’ back to find
A simpler place in time, yeah
I’m gonna be there
midnight train to Georgia

I'd rather live in his world
I’d rather live in his world
I’d rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
All aboard, all aboard, all aboard
Midnight train is goin’
All aboard, all aboard, all aboard
Midnight train is goin’
All aboard, all aboard, all aboard
Midnight train is goin’
All aboard all aboard…..
Come back, come back
I’ll be waiting at the station.
