They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there`s always magic in the air
But when you`re walking down the street
And you ain`t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you`re nowhere (on Broadway)
They say the women treat you right on Broadway
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 (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
And I won`t quit till I`m a star on Broadway (on Broadway)
