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 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
