Lyrics James Taylor

James Taylor

On Broadway

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

When you're walkin' down that street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere, nowhere

(On Broadway)

They say the girls are somethin' else on Broadway

(On Broadway)

But lookin' at them just gives me the blues

'Cause how ya gonna make some time

When all that you got is one thin dime

And one thin dime, that won't even shine your 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 they are

'Cause I can play this here, guitar

I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

(On Broadway)

But oh, they're wrong, I know they are

But I can play this here, guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

Oh, on Broadway

(On Broadway)

Never gonna quit, never gonna quit my thing

Till I make it on Broadway

(On Broadway)

I'll be a big man, yeah

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 on 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
