BROADWAY

ON BROADWAY 

They say the neon lights are bright 

On Broadway 

They say there's always magic in the air 

But when you're walkin' down that street 

And you ain't got enough to eat 

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere 

They say the chicks are somethin else 

On Broadway 

But lookin' at them just gives me the blues 

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 

They say that I won't last too long 

On Broadway 

I'll catch a greyhound bus for home they all say 

But they're dead wrong, I know they are 

Cause I can play this here guitar 

And I won't quit till I'm a star 

On Broadway 

But they're dead wrong, I know they are 

Cause I can play this here guitar 

And I won't quit till I'm a star 

On Broadway 

I'm gonna make it, yeah 

On Broadway 

I'll be a big, big man 

On Broadway 

I'll have my name in lights 

On Broadway 

Everybody gonna know me 

On Broadway 

All up and down Broadway 

On Broadway
