shalom gad and the diamonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So she's leavin' the life she's come to know
She's goin' back to find
What's left in the world
The world she left behind
Not so long ago
She's leavin'
She's goin' back
She's goin' back
To a simpler place in time
And I'll be with her
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
She kept dreamin'
That someday she'd be a star
But she found out the hard way
Some dreams don't come true
So she pawned all her hopes
He even sold the car
She bought a one way ticket back
To the life that she once knew
She's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
She's goin' back
She's goin' back
A simpler place in time
And I'll be with her
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
Yes I'll be with her
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in her world
Than live without her in mine
Yes I would

L.A. proved too much for the girl

She's leaving behind the life she's established for herself
She's goin' back to find
She's making a journey to seek

Not so long ago
It was not very far back in time

Rather than live without her presence in my life
She kept dreamin'
She continued to imagine
That someday she'd be a star
That one day she'd become famous
But she found out the hard way
However, she discovered through tough experiences
Some dreams don't come true
That some aspirations do not become a reality
So she pawned all her hopes
Therefore, she traded away everything she wished for
He even sold the car
She even sold her vehicle
She bought a one-way ticket back
She purchased passage on a train that only travels in one direction back
To the life that she once knew
She's returning to the existence she once experienced
Yes, I'll be with her
Indeed, I'll be accompanying her
Than live without her in mine
Preferable to live without her presence in my life
Yes, I would
Certainly, that's true
