Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

[Verse 3]
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

[Verse 4]
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people

Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain's father always told him, "Don't stop believing" And when he sat down to write a song with Journey frontman Stephen Ray Perry, he thought about the encouragement his father had given him, and they wrote "Don't Stop Believin'". And with the help of Guitarist Neal Joseph Schon, they created a great work. "Don't Stop Believin'" is Journey's signature song, and they made it one of the most enduring songs of the '80s, and it has endured throughout the years. In short, "Don't Stop Believin'" shares writing credits between Jonathan Cain, Stephen Ray Perr and Neal Joseph Schon.

A mid-tempo rock anthem and powerful ballad, "Don't Stop Believin'" is the ephiony of 80s arena rock. Stephen Ray Perry's vocals help carry the song, while Neal Joseph Schon's guitar playing and Jonathan Cain's legendary piano opening make this song perfect. It became one of the unforgettable songs, especially with its distinctive opening piano riff.
