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

But they're 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 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
