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 had enough to eat

the glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

they say the girls are something else on broadway

but looking 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

ha! they say that i won't last too long on broadway

i'll catch a greyhound bus for home

they all say

but oh

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

oh

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

on broadway

i'm gonna make it

yeah

i'll be a big

big

big man

i'll have my name in lights

everybody

everybody's gonna know me

yes

all up and down broadway

oh yeah
