They say the neon lights are bright On broadway They say theres always magic in the air But when youre walkin down that street And you aint got enough to eat The glitter rubs right off and youre 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 wont even shine your shoes
They say that I wont last too long On broadway Ill catch a greyhound bus for home they all say But theyre dead wrong, I know they are cause I can play this here guitar And I wont quit till Im a star On broadway
But theyre dead wrong, I know they are cause I can play this here guitar And I wont quit till Im a star On broadway On broadway Im gonna make it, yeah On broadway Ill be a big, big man On broadway Ill have my name in lights On broadway Everybody gonna know me On broadway All up and down broadway On broadway
