Goo Goo Dolls – Broadway lyrics
Chorus:
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been

You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
Cause you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten around here

Chorus

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade

You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
And when you're thinkin of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin' round here

Chorus

You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin' round here

Round here

Chorus

    The lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls (John Rzeznik) wrote this song about the neighborhood he grew up in. This is NOT about the Broadway in New York City, it's about the Broadway way up in Buffalo, New York. Rzeznik grew up in Buffalo when he lived with his parents before they both died when he was young.
