On Broadway lyrics

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

That glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere



They say the boys are something else on Broadway

Yeah, but looking at them just gives me the blues

'Cause how you 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

'Cause I can play this here guitar
But they're wrong, I know they are


And I won't quit 'till I'm a star on Broadway



I'm gonna make it yet


I'll be a big, big star now
I'll have my name in lights

Everybody's gonna know me, yeah, all over town
