| They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
|
| They say there’s always magic in the air
|
| But when you’re walkin' down the street
|
| And you ain’t had enough to eat
|
| The glitter rubs right off and you’re nowhere
|
| They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
|
| But lookin' 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
|
| Now I’m on my way
|
| Shining down Broadway
|
| Yes, I’m on my way
|
| Shining down Broadway
|
| Shall I really stay on Broadway
|
| Now I’m on my way
|
| Shining down Broadway
|
| Yes, I’m on my way
|
| Shining down Broadway
|
| Shall I really stay on Broadway
|
| 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
|
| I won’t quit till I’m a star on Broadway
|
| Now I’m on my way
|
| Shining down Broadway
|
| Yes, I’m on my way
|
| Shining down Broadway
|
| Shall I really stay on Broadway, on Broadway, on Broadway |
