Taking the Midnight Train-Tony Joe White

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
