They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air On Broadway
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere On Broadway
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway On Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues On Broadway
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
On Broadway
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say Catch a Greyhound
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
They say that I won't last too long
They say that I won't last too long
And I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
