On Broadway - King Curtis

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 have 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

They say that I won’t last too long

On Broadway

I’ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say

But they get 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
