Leaving Georgia on the midnight train
Big cities calling my name
I have to go but my heart is in pain
I need to find fame
Leaving Georgia on the midnight train
Big cities calling my name
So hard to go but I must
Nothing to hold me back
I need to shake off the Georgia dust
Leave my shack and find a track
Leaving Georgia on the midnight train
Big cities calling my name
No looking back, break it’s hold
Goodbye Blue Ridge Mountains
Don’t fear, be bold
Will I find the silver fountains?
Leaving Georgia on the midnight train
Big cities calling my name.
