Third time in the big city just THIS winter

I was watching the boys high school hockey tournament on the TV this afternoon. The game was Warroad v. Breck. During a break in the action the cameras panned across the student sections of the two schools. In the front row of the Warroad section were a bunch of small town girls wearing Warroad High School hockey jerseys which differed in small ways from the jerseys being worn by the boys team. One of our favorite hockey teams has made it back to the big city for a third time this winter, albeit this third time as spectators.

These girls have made it out enough times this year that maybe, just maybe, they no longer have to consider the midnight train going anywhere. I hope so.

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......

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
