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)
