Lyrics Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss

Broadway

I stood on faith

And the corner of ambition

I came here to sink or swim

And to show them all

That they were wrong

And though I never thought

I'd make it this far

So the curtains are down

For the moment I'm someone

There were those in the wings who waited

Who came this way

Now there gone

But there's always someone at home

Who never forgets who you are

When I'm down and I'm growing old

I won't be along no railroad track

I won't be bound to a life out in the cold

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps

Between these cracks on Broadway

And my stride in rhythm

To the beat of home, sweet home

When I'm down and I'm growing old

I won't be along no railroad track

I won't be bound to a life out in the cold

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps

Between these cracks on Broadway

And my stride in rhythm

To the beat of home, sweet (home)

Can't go on

I'm on the top of my better years

I'm going home

It's too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps

Between these cracks on Broadway

And my stride in rhythm

To the beat of home, sweet home
