James Taylor On Broadway song lyrics

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walkin' down that street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere (on Broadway)

They say the girls are something else on Broadway (on Broadway)

But looking 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, that won't even shine your, you filthy shoes (on Broadway)

They say that I won't last too long on Broadway (on Broadway)

I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say

But oh! they're wrong, I know that they are

'Cause I can play this here guitar

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

But oh, 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

On Broadway (on Broadway)

Never gonna quit,

Never gonna quit my thing

'Til I make it on Broadway (on Broadway)

I'll be a big man yes

You're gonna know my name (on Broadway)

All up and down Broadway

Yeah up and down Broadway (on Broadway)

Dirty filthy Broadway

Break your heart Broadway (on Broadway)

Everybody gonna know my name

(Walk, walk, walk on by)

(Walk, walk)

(Walk, walk, walk on by)

(Walk, walk)

(Walk, walk, walk on by) (fade out)
