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
