Midnight Train to Georgia Live Version 2
[Intro: Gladys Knight]
Oh my goodness

[Verse 1: Gladys Knight]
Mmm, L.A., yeah
Proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man) Mmm (He couldn't make it)
So he's leaving a life
He's come to know, ooh
(He said he's going)
Said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago, hey-hey

[Chorus: Gladys Knight]
He's leavin' (Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train) Yeah
Said he's going back (Going back to find)
To a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride) Uh-huh
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)
And I'll bе with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train to Gеorgia) Woo
(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)
[Verse 2: Gladys Knight]
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 no
(Uh-uh) Uh-uh (No, uh-uh)
So he pawned all his hopes, woo
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
And he even sold that old car
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Bought a one-way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh yes, he did

[Chorus: Gladys Knight]
Oh, he's leavin' (Leavin')
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train) Yeah, ooh, yeah
Said he's going back to find (Going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time
(Whenever he takes that ride) Oh yes, he is
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I said I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia) Woo
(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) Yeah, yeah
[Bridge: Gladys Knight]
(For love) For love (Gonna board)
Gonna board the midnight train ride
For love (For love), gonna board (Gonna board)
Gotta board the midnight train to go
For love (For love), gonna board (Gonna board)
Uh-huh (The midnight train to go)
My world (For love), his world (Gonna board)
Our world (Midnight train to go), mine and his alone
My world (For love), his world (Gonna board)
Our world (Midnight train to go), mine and his alone
I've got to go (For love), I've got go (Gonna board)
I've got to go (Midnight train to go), hey
I've got to go (For love), I've got to go (Gonna board)
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, ooh

[Outro: Gladys Knight & Patti Labelle]
Girl, all these songs are out of my key (Girl, yes)
I'm tellin' you, you know over the years the voice drops (I know)
It gets lower and lower (It's rich)
And lower, haha
(It's a OG voice, honey)
Yeah, it's a OG, it's a OG voice she said
(It's the best kind)
Listen, listen, listen, listen
Listen
