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 farSo the curtains are down for the moment I'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited
Who came this way now they're goneBut there's always someone at home
Who never forgets who you areAnd 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 coldIt'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 homeWhen 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 coldIt'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 homeCan't go on, I'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home, it's too lonesome
On the bottom rung hereIt'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
