Taking the midnight train
Taking the midnight train
I can't stand this pain
Just can't stand this pain
To have somebody hurt me for no reason
For no cause, for no cause
Left home very young
Left home very young
To the California sun
The California sun
And there a woman took me for her lover
She was the one, she was the one
Saying we were made for each other
And I could've been more satisfying
But then one night she packed her bags and left without a word
I guess I'll never know the reason why
It ain't no use in saying I never loved her
Cause I did, God knows I did
Taking the midnight train
Taking the midnight train
I can't stand this pain
I just can't stand this pain, oh, Lord
To have somebody hurt me for no reason
For no cause, for no cause
