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 got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine
On broadway (on broadway)
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'cause how you gonna make some time (make some time)
When all you got is one thin dime? (one thin time)
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say that i won't last too long
On broadway (on broadway)
I'll catch a greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong, i know they are (know they are)
'cause i can play this here guitar (here guitar)
And i won't quit till i'm a star
On broadway (on broadway)
And i won't quit till i'm a star
On broadway (on broadway)
On broadway (on broadway)
On broadway
