King Curtis - 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 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
