Taking the midnight train
Taking the midnight train
I can't stand
this pain
I can't stand
this pain
To have somebody
hurt 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
Saying
we were made
for each other
And I
I could've been
more satisfying
But then one night
she packed her bags
and left without a word
And I guess
I'll never know
the reason why
And it ain't no use
in saying
I never loved her
'Cause I did
God knows I did
Taking the midnight train
I'm taking the midnight train
I can't stand
this pain
I just can't not
stand this pain
To have somebody
hurt me
for no reason
For no cause
For no cause
Ooh Lord
Mm
