Takin' the Midnight Train (Album Version)

Takin' the Midnight Train (Album) - 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
