They said the neon lights are bright on broadway
They said there's always magic in the air when you're walkin' down the street
And you may have enough to beat
The glitter of bright offends you no way

They said the women treats you fine on broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues 'cause how you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
The one ten dime won't even the your shoes

They said that I won't last too long on broadway
I'll catch the grey hound bus for home they 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
