Takin' the Midnight Train

Takin' the midnight train, takin' the midnight train

I can't stand this pain, I can't stand this pain

To have somebody who hurts me for no reason

For no cause, for no cause

I left home very young, I left home very young

To the California sun, to the California sun

A lady took me for her lover

She was the one, she was the oneIt seemed we were made for each other

Yeah, I couldn't have been more satisfied

But then one night, she packed her bags and left without a word

I guess I've never known his name

And ain't no use I'd say I never loved her

Because I did, God knows I didSoloTakin' the midnight train, takin' the midnight train

I can't stand this pain, I just cannot stand this pain

To have somebody who hurts me for no reason

For no cause, for no cause.
