Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say the neon lights
Are bright on Broadway
They say there's always
Magic in the air
[Verse 2]
But when you're walking
Down the street
And you ain't had
Enough to eat
The glitter rubs
Right off and man
You ain't nowhere
[Verse 3]
They say the girls
Are something else
On Broadway
But looking at them
Gives me
The blues
[Verse 4]
But how ya gonna
Make some time
When all you got
Is one thin dime?
And one thin dime
Won't even shine
Your shoes
[Verse 5]
They say that I won't
Last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch the Greyhound bus
For home
They say
[Verse 6]
But oh, they're wrong
I know they are
'Cause I can sing
With the guitar
I'll sing my song
Till I'm a star
On Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway
