Lyrics

Just a (C)small town girl,

liv ing in a (Bb)lone ly world.

She took the (C)mid night train go ing (Am)an y (Bb)where.

Just a (C)cit y boy,

born and raised in (Bb)south De troit.

He took the (C)mid night train go ing (Am)an y (Bb)where.

A sing er in a (C)smok y room,

the smell of wine and (Bb)cheap per fume.

For a smile they can (C)share the night.

It goes (Am)on and on and (Bb)on and on.

(C)Stran (Bb)gers (C)wait (F)ing

(F)up and down the (C)boul e (F)vard, their (C)shad (Bb)ows (C)search (F)ing in the (C)night.

(C)Street (Bb)light (C)peo (F)ple,

(F)liv ing just to (C)find e (F)mo tion, (C)hid (Bb)ing (C)some (F)where in the (C)night.

(C)night.

Work ing hard to (C)get my fill.

Ev ’ry bod y (Bb)wants a thrill.

Pay ing an y thing to (C)roll the dice it just (Am)one more (Bb)time.

Some will win, to (C)some will lose,

some were born to (Bb)sing the blues.

Oh, the mov y ie to (C)nev er ends, it goes (Am)one more (Bb)time.

(Am)on and on and (Bb)on and on.

(F)Don’t stop be (C)liev ing.

Hold on to the (Bb)feel ing,

(F)street light (C)peo ple, oh.

(F)Don’t stop be (C)liev ing.

Hold on to the (Bb)feel ing,

(F)street light (C)peo ple, oh.
