They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walking down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off
And you're nowhere
They say the girls are something else
On Broadway
Oh but looking at them just gives me the blues
I ask you 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'm gonna catch a Greyhound bus for home they say
Oh 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
They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they say
Oh but they're dead wrong, I know they are
Cause I can play this here guitar
And I never gonna quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
I'll make them eat their words
Yeah, they'll eat their words
Oh, they gonna eat their words
If I hang around long enough
