Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world 
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere 
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit 
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere 

singer 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, up and down the boulevard 
Their shadows searching in the nights 
Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion 
Hiding, somewhere in the nights 

Working hard to get my fill, 
Everybody wants a thrill 
Payin' anything to roll the dice 
Just one more time 

Some will win, some will lose 
Some are born to sing the blues 
And now the movie never ends 
It goes on and on and on and on 

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard 
Their shadows searching in the night 
Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion 
Hiding, somewhere in the nights 

Don't stop believin' 
Hold on to that feelin' 
Streetlight, people 

Don't stop believin' 
Hold on to that feelin' 
Streetlight, people 
Don't stop
