Don’t stop believin’ lyrics: • 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 • A singer in a smokey room • A smell of wine and cheap perfume • For a smile they can share the night • It goes on and on and on and on
