Takin' the Midnight Train - Tony Joe White

Takin' the midnight train

Takin' the midnight train

I can’t stand this pain

I can’t stand this pain

To have somebody 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

And there a lady took me for her lover

She was the one, she was the one

It seemed we were made for each other

Yeah, I couldn’t have been more satisfy

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

I guess I’ll never know the reason why

And ain’t no use in saying I never loved her

'Cause I did, God knows I did

Takin' 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
