Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train going anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train going anywhere
A 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 night Streetlights people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night
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 were born to sing the blues Oh, 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 night
