Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips

On a rainy Wednesday morning on the way that I was born in That old sharecropper's one room country shack They said my mommie left me the day before she had me Said she hit the road and never once looked back And I just like to mention my grandma's old age pension Is the reason why I'm standing here today I got all my country learning a milking and a churning Picking cotton raisin' hell and baling hay I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way Oh my sweet Carolina I don't guess I'll ever find Another woman put together like you are I love your wiggle in your walking and your big city talking And your brand new shiny Plymouth ragtop car Well it's hurry up and wait in this land of give and take It seems like haste it makes for waste everytime I declare to my soul when I hear my ages roll You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way There ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

When it rains it pours and opens doors That flood the floors we thought would always Keep us safe and dry And in the midst of sailing ships We sink our lips into the ones we love That have to say goodbye And as I float along this ocean I can feel you like a notion That won't seem to let me go And when I look to the sky Something tells me you're here with me And you make everything alright And when I feel like I'm lost Something tells me you're here with me And I can always find my way when you are here And every word I didn't say That caught up in some busy day And every dance on the kitchen floor We didn't have before And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss And pick you up in all of this when I sail away While I float upon this ocean I can feel you like a notion That I hope will never leave 'Cause when I look to the sky Something tells me you're here with me And you make everything alright And when I feel like I'm lost Something tells me you're here with me And I can always find my way Whether I am up or down or in or out Or just plain overhead Instead it feels like it's impossible to fly But with you I can spread my wings To see me over everything that life may send me When I am hoping it won't pass me by And when I feel like there's no one That will ever know me There you are to show me When I look to the sky Something tells me you're here with me And you make everything alright when you are here And when I feel like I'm lost Something tells me that you're right here next to me And I can always find my way when you are here And I can always find my way
