She's just a small town girl, living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
He's just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

I seen her in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, walking down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Street lights, people living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill
Betting anything to roll the dice just one more time
Some will win, some will lose, some are born to sing the blues
And the movie never ends, it goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, walking down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Street lights, people, living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling
Street lights, people
Don't stop believing, hold on
Street lights, people

Don't stop believing hold on to that feeling
Street lights, people, ohh
