On Broadway Songtext

von Kurt Elling

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that 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
One thin dime won't even shine
Your shoes

They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're did wrong, I know they are
'cause i have earned all on my Scars
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 all say
But they're did wrong, I know they are
'cause i have earned so many Scars
And I won't quit till I'm a star
And I won't quit till I'm a star
