On Broadway - Lyrics - James Taylor

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)
