On Broadway Songtext

von Percy Faith

They say the neon lights are bright
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the chicks are somethin' else
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
I'll catch a Greyhound 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
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
I'm gonna make it, yeah
I'll be a big, big man
I'll have my name in lights
Everybody gonna know me
All up and down Broadway
