[Verse 1]
They say that neon lights are bright on Broadway (Broadway)
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walking down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The city all lights up and you're nowhere

[Verse 2]
They say the girls are something else on Broadway (Broadway)
Looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how're you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

[Verse 3]
They say that love won't last too long on Broadway (Broadway)
Now catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
I bet they're wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway

[Outro]
Thank you
