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 the street And you ain't had enough to eat The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere They say the women treat you fine on Broadway But lookin' at them just gives me the blues 'cause how ya 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 grey hound 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
