On Broadway

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
