On Broadway - Lyrics - George Benson

George Benson is a ten-time Grammy Award-winning American musician and singer-songwriter. He began his professional career at twenty-one, as a jazz guitarist. Benson uses a rest-stroke picking technique similar to that of gypsy jazz players such as Django Reinhardt.

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 women treat you right on Broadway But looking at them just gives me the blues 'Cause how you gonna make some time When all you got is one thin dime And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes They say I won't last too long on Broadway I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say But they're dead wrong, I know they are 'Cause I can play this guitar And I won't quit til I'm a star on Broadway I won't quit til I'm a star on Broadway No, no, no, no I won't quit til I'm a star on Broadway Do do do do
