Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
[Verse 2]
They say there's always magic in the air
When you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere, nowhere
(On Broadway)
They say the chicks are somethin' else
On Broadway, (On Broadway)
[Verse 3]
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya' gonna make some time, boy
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime that won't even shin your, your filthy shoes
(On Broadway)
They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway, (On Broadway)
[Verse 4]
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But, oh, they're wrong, I know that they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
I won't quit 'till I'm a star
On Broadway, (On Broadway)
[Verse 5]
But, oh, they're wrong, I know that they are, now
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit 'till I'm a star
On Broadway
[Verse 6]
Oh Broadway, (On Broadway)
Never gonna quit
Never gonna quit my thing
'till I make it on Broadway, (On Broadway)
[Verse 7]
I'll be a big man, yes
You're gonna know my name, (On Broadway)
All up and down Broadway
Yeah up and down Broadway, (On Broadway)
Dirty filthy Broadway
Break your heart Broadway, (On Broadway)
Everybody gonna know my name
[Verse 8]
(Walk, walk, walk on by)
(Walk, walk)
(Walk, walk, walk on by)
(Walk, walk)
(Walk, walk, walk on by)
(Walk, walk)
