On Broadway - Re-Recording - The Drifters

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway

They say there’s always magic in the air

But when you’re walkin' down the street

And you ain’t had 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

'Cause how you gonna make some time

When all you got is one thin dime

And one thin dime won’t even shine your shoes

Now I’m on my way

Shining down Broadway

Yes, I’m on my way

Shining down Broadway

Shall I really stay on Broadway

Now I’m on my way

Shining down Broadway

Yes, I’m on my way

Shining down Broadway

Shall I really stay on Broadway

They say that I won’t last too long on Broadway

I’ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say

But they’re dead wrong, I know they are

'Cause I can play this here guitar

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

Now I’m on my way

Shining down Broadway

Yes, I’m on my way

Shining down Broadway

Shall I really stay on Broadway, on Broadway, on Broadway
