Lyrics

[Verse 1] They say that neon lights are bright on Broadway (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 city all lights up and you're nowhere [Verse 2] They say the girls are something else on Broadway (Broadway) Looking at them just gives me the blues 'Cause how're you gonna make some time When all you got is one thin dime And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes [Verse 3] They say that love won't last too long on Broadway (Broadway) Now catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say I bet they're wrong, I know they are 'Cause I can play this here guitar And I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway [Outro] Thank you
