Small Town Girl
Journey Lyrics

Just a small town girl
There's a girl from a small town.

Livin' in a lonely world
She feels isolated and alone in her life.

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
She left her hometown and ventured out into the world.

Just a city boy
There's a boy from the city.

Born and raised in south Detroit
He grew up in the southern part of Detroit.

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
He, too, left his hometown and set out on a journey.

A singer in a smoky room
The boy is singing in a smoky, dimly lit room.

The smell of wine and cheap perfume
The air is heavy with the scent of wine and perfume that's not too expensive.

For a smile they can share the night
People in the room are sharing smiles and enjoying their time together.

It goes on and on and on and on
The night just seems to keep going and going.

Strangers waiting
There are strangers waiting for something.

Up and down the boulevard
They are walking up and down the street.

Their shadows searching in the nights
Their shadows are cast on the ground as they search for something in the dark.

Street lights people
The people are illuminated by the street lights.

Living just to find emotion
The people are searching for something emotional in their lives.

Hiding somewhere in the nights
Whatever they're looking for is hidden in the darkness of the night.

Working hard to get my fill
The boy is working hard to achieve his goals in life.

Everybody wants a thrill
Everyone is looking for excitement in their lives.

Payin' anything to roll the dice
People are willing to risk everything for a chance at something better.

Just one more time
They keep trying, hoping for a better outcome.

Some will win, some will lose
Not everyone will be successful in their pursuits.

Some were born to sing the blues
Some people are destined to have tough lives.

Oh, the movie never ends
Life is like a never-ending movie.

It goes on and on and on and on
Life continues, regardless of what happens.

Don't stop believin'
Never stop believing in yourself.

Hold on to that feelin'
Hold onto the positive emotions in your life.

Street lights people
The people walking the streets illuminated by the lights.

Don't stop believin'
Keep your dreams alive.

Hold on to that feelin'
Never let go of your positive emotions.

Street lights people
The people walking the streets illuminated by the lights.
