But when you're walkin' down that street
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway, no, no, no, no, no
When all you got is one thin dime
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
On Broadway
But they're dead wrong I know they are
Broadway, yeah
'Cause how you gonna make some time?
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
On Broadway
And you ain't had enough to eat
No, I won't quit till I'm a star
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
On Broadway
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
'Cause I can play this here guitar
