James Taylor
On Broadway
[Verse]
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
When you're walking down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere, nowhere
On Broadway
They say the girls are something else on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how you going to make some time
When all that you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime, that won't even shine your filthy shoes
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, oh, they're 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
But oh, they're wrong, I know they are
But I can play this here, guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
Oh, on Broadway
Never going to quit, never going to quit my thing
Till I make it on Broadway
I'll be a big man, yeah
You're going to know my name
All up and down Broadway
Yeah, up and down Broadway
Dirty, filthy Broadway
Break your heart on Broadway
[Outro]
Everybody's going to know my name
Walk, walk, walk on by
Walk, walk
