Lyrics:

They told me the streets were all paved with gold But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold They said neon lights were a beautiful sight But how 'bout the one blinking in My room all night And where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you I gotta find it, girl before I send for you I gotta find it, girl, if it can be found Before I bring you to (to coda) They said in this town you get rich in no time But here I am and I'm down to my last dime I just don't know why I bother to try When nobody here gives a hang If I live or die
