Broadway

Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Live [Rounder] [2002]

(Sidney Cox - Suzanne Cox)



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.
