Los 150 mejores de la Motown (31)

Una entrada especial para Gladys Knight considerada por muchos la mejor cantante de Soul, es conocida por La Emperatriz del Soul
Nº 107 Gladys Knight & The Pips - "Love Overboard"



nº 108 Gladys Knight & The Pips - "Midnight Train to Georgia"

Aunque lo publicó en 1973 con el sello Budha, se le considera el último trabajo con la Motown y a pesar de mis dudas me he decido a incluirlo en la lista ya que es uno de mis temas predilectos de Gladys Knight.




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.
He's leaving,
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.
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,
Oh yes he did,
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.
Go, gonna board, gonna board,
Gonna board the midnight train.
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
(repeat, fade)
