*Borrowed from Gladys Knight & The Pips--Midnight Train To Georgia*
Tampa proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know
He said he's goin' back to find what's left of his world
The friends he left behind not so long ago
He's leavin' on that midnight train to Tulsa
Said he's goin' back to find the simpler place and time
Will you be with him on that midnight train to Tulsa
Would you rather live in his world than live without him in yours
He kept dreamin' that someday he'd be a star
But he sho' found out the hard way that dreams don't always come true
So he's pawned all his hopes and he even sold his own car
Bought a one-way ticket back to the life he once knew
I’m Sad he's leavin' on that midnight train to Tulsa
Sad he's goin' back to find the simpler place and time
I'm not gonna be with him on that midnight train to Tulsa
I'd rather live in this world than live with him outside of mine
