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 far.
So the curtains are down for the moment I was someone
There were those in the wings who waited,
Who came this way, now there gone
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are.
And when I'm down and I'm growing old
It won't be long or I won't try
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It'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.

When I'm down and I'm growing old
It won't be long or I won't try
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It'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.
I'm going home it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It'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.
Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years.
I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here
It'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.
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
