歌壇常青樹之一，至今仍活躍於舞台上。
不久前在影集「慾望之都」（Las Vegas）看到 Gladys，還是神采奕奕閃亮動人，讓人十分驚喜。她和老搭檔在節目中就是表演這首歌曲，為當季節目寫下句點。
這首歌表達離鄉遊子一心渴望在洛杉磯揚名立萬，星路卻不順遂，只好黯然返鄉，搭著午夜的火車回家鄉。雖然身旁的女孩始終不離不棄，卻難掩滿懷惆悵之情。
我百聽不厭的節奏藍調老歌。
沒聽過這首歌的朋友，建議先聽「
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
He's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
And I've got to 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)
