Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics


L.A. proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man)
(He couldn't make it)
So he's leaving the life
He's come to know(He said he's going)
He said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
What's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so very long ago, oh yeahHe's leaving
(Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia, oh yeah
(Leaving on that midnight train)
Oo, y'all
Said, he's going back to find
(He's going back to find)
A simpler place and time
(And when he takes that ride)

Oh yes, he is
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)I'll be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on that midnight train to Georgia)
(Whoo whoo)
I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(World, world)
(It's his, his and her's alone)He kept dreaming
(Dreaming)
That one day 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 noSo he sold all his hopes
And he even sold his own car
And bought a one way ticket back
To the life that he once knew, oh yes, he did
He said he wouldI know he's leaving
(Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia, oh yeah
(Leaving on that midnight train)
Oh y'all
Said, he's going back to find
(He's going back to find)
A simpler place and time
(And when he takes that ride)
Oh yes, he is
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)I've got to be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on that midnight train to Georgia)
(Whoo whoo)
I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(World, world)
(It's his, his and her's alone)He's leaving
(He's leaving)
On a midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train)
Oh yeah
He said, he's going back to find
(He's going back to find)
A simpler place and time
(And when he takes that ride)
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)I've got to be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on that midnight train to Georgia)
(Whoo whoo)
I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
[Incomprehensible]
World, world
Is his, his and her's alone
World is his
His and her's aloneAll aboard
One world
Her man, his girlI've got to go
(All aboard)
I've got to go
(One world)
I've got to go
(Her man, his girl)I've got to go
(All aboard)
I've got to go
(One world)
I've got to go right now
(Her man, his girl)All aboard
One world
Her man, his girlAll aboard
One world
Her man, his girl

The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.

Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game". With this release, they secured the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager to the present; they had first approached him when the EP album was released, but he told them their songs were "immature" and they were not likely to get a record deal.

They were signed to Epic Records in 1989 and won the Grammy for best contemporary folk album later that year (for their self titled release) Some of their hit songs include "Galileo," "Closer to Fine," and "Shame on You."

Aside from being musicians, Ray and Saliers are activists, constantly supporting causes like gun control, women's rights, Native American rights, environmental protection, the abolition of the death penalty, and as lesbians themselves, LGBT rights. They constantly devote their time and money to such causes, often playing benefit concerts.

Ray and Saliers both have side projects. Ray owns and founded Daemon Records, an independent label based in Decatur. She also has a career as a solo artist, and has released two albums thus far. Saliers is the part owner of Watershed, a restaurant and wine bar in Decatur.

Together, the Indigo Girls are constantly touring. Their new album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, was released March 24, 2009.
