Midnight Train to Georgia
Thank you Lady bug! It’s like that song that everyone dedicates to the one they love, “Every Breath you take” can you say STALKER?
Which brings me to my latest rant. Perhaps I am getting cynical in my old age because I use to love this song until I REALLY listened to it.
L.A. 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
Ooh, what’s left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.(Chorus removed for end of post)
He kept dreamin’
That someday he’d be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don’t always come true.
So he pawned all his hopes and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew,He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he’s goin’ back
To a simpler place and time.
And I’ll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,I’d rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.CAN YOU SAY, “STUPID WOMAN!”?
NOWHERE in this WHOLE song does he say he wants her to go with him.
He couldn’t make in LA, he is giving up on his dream, sold his car and bought a ONE way ticket back home (to probably move in with his mommy!)
So what she is ‘following’ is a man with NO car, NO hopes & NO job.
AND HE’S SNEAKING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!
But she would rather live in his LOSER ass world than in her own. Grrr.Why does this song piss me off so much? I use to LOVE this song.
okay, i’m done now.
