That Midnight Train to Georgia on My Mind


As we prepare to illuminate our zone
got my granny going home
and staying out the way is what I'm on
But I have come to the realization that this may be my breaking point,
Confused and frustrated,
I had to redirect my emotions,
But deep down, I know that it is you that holds the key to my heart.
Yes, you are the one who holds the key to my heart,
And it is that tiny fragment of you,
That slowly, but surely, creeps into my thoughts.
And that is the piece that pains me the most,
Knowing that you will only reflect what I want to see,
Because when it comes to how you truly feel about me, you remain silent.
Your feelings and the reality can be twisted,
Let us not forget about the moments we shared,
on that Midnight train to Georgia
The ways we knew each other,
And the times we thought we would never experience again.
We will never witness them,
We will never get the chance to take part in them.
He or she may be foolish,
But this numbness within me is what's affecting me the most,
Someone needs to wake me up from this slumber.
We must rewrite this wish list,
For I am tired of living this way,
I am fighting against the goodness and righteousness within me.
I wish my subconscious could take over,
For this superficial side of me is consuming my identity,
Undoing the person I used to be,
And I am not even aware of it.
I am nothing but a machine,
So, someone, please put a stop to this and guide me.
Got Georgia on my mind
to remind me
rewind we
Ray Charles and Gladys Knight
is the time youll find me
