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
