On Broadway Lyrics by E. Clayton Cornelious

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2014

[THE DRIFTERS]
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway (On Broadway)
They say there's always magic in the air (On Broadway)
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere (On Broadway)
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway (On Broadway)
But looking at them just gives me the blues (On Broadway)
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your 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 (Catch a Greyhound)
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
They say that I won't last too long
They say that I won't last too long
And I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
