Just a small town girl,
living 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
took the midnight train goin' anywhere
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
took the midnight train going anywhere
took the midnight train going anywhere
