Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out  
They leave the West behind  
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout  
That Georgia’s always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind

He’s leaving  
(Leaving)  
On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah  
(Leaving on the midnight train)  
Said he’s going back  
(Going back to find)  
To a simpler place and time

Sweeter than sugar, kisses like wine  
Don’t let him under your skin, cause you’ll never win  
Don’t give him love today, tomorrow he’s on his way  
He’s a sweet talkin’ guy

Cool cherry cream and nice apple tart,  
I feel your taste all the time we’re apart,  
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues,  
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle.

I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonopah  
I’ve driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made  
Driven on the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed  
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine, and you show me a sign  
I’ll be willin’, to keep on movin’
