Lyrics
[verse]
He packed his dreams into a single suitcase
Said the city lights had lost their place
The big time didn't turn out like he planned
So he's heading back to where he understands
[verse]
I could have stayed here chasing my own name in lights
But his world is where I wanna spend my nights
So I'm packing up my little that I own
Following the only love I've known
[chorus]
Gonna take that midnight train
Back to where the porch lights softly wave
Leaving all this glitter, leaving all the fame
I'd rather ride beside him on that midnight train
[verse]
The whole apartment building came to say goodbye
Nobody could believe she'd say the tie
But love don't care about the size of any stage
She'd rather have his hand than all the world's gaze
[chorus]
Gonna take that midnight train
Back to where the porch lights softly wave
Leaving all this glitter, leaving all the fame
I'd rather ride beside him on that midnight train
[bridge]
Woo woo, hear that whistle blow
Woo woo, watch the city lights let go
Woo woo, carry us on home
Woo woo, to the place we're not alone
[chorus]
Gonna take that midnight train
Back to where the porch lights softly wave
Leaving all this glitter, leaving all the fame
I'd rather ride beside him on that midnight train
