Drifters - On Broadway lyrics

rate me

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walking down that street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the girls are something else on Broadway

But looking at them just give me the blues

How you gonna make some time

When all you have is one thin dime

And 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

They're dead wrong I know they are

I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

They're dead wrong I know they are

I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

I'm gonna make it yeah

I'll be a big, big, big man

I'll have my name in lights

Everybody, everybody, everybody's going to know me yeah

All up and down Broadway

All up and down Broadway

All up and down Broadway

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walking down that street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the girls are something else on Broadway

But looking at them just give me the blues

How you gonna make some time

When all you have is one thin dime

And 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

They're dead wrong I know they are

I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

They're dead wrong I know they are

I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

I'm gonna make it yeah

I'll be a big, big, big man

I'll have my name in lights

Everybody, everybody, everybody's going to know me yeah

All up and down Broadway

All up and down Broadway

All up and down Broadway

All up and down Broadway
