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

How ya gonna make some time

When all you got is one thin dime

And one thin dime won't even

Shine your shoes



See [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 dead wrong

I know they are

'Cause I can play this here guitar



I won't quit till I'm a star

On Broadway



On Broadway

On Broadway

Give me that crack

Give me some of that crack

Give me that crack

Ahhhhh

Broadway
