On Broadway — Lyrics

 

They say that
Neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walking down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The city all lights up and you're nowhere

They say
The girls are something else on Broadway
Looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how're you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say that
Love won't last too long on Broadway
Now catch a Greyhound bus for home
They all say
I bet they're wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit 'till I'm a star
On Broadway
