Drifters – On Broadway lyrics
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
