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
