Tony Joe White - Takin' the midnight train lyrics

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
