Lyrics A Star in the Ghetto - Average White Band
Broadway,
you
never
shine
a
light
on
me
I
may
never
live
to
see
my
name
in
lights
On
a
Carneige
Hall
marquee
Oh,
but
that′s
alright
Lord,
that's
alright
with
me
I′m
as
happy,
happy
as
a
man
can
be
Folks
in
New
York
may
never
know
my
name
I
may
not
win
that
Music
Hall
of
Fame
(Music
Hall
of
Fame)
Gonna
keep
on
singing
my
song
just
the
same
If
I
don't
make
it
there
I
won't
be
ashamed
′Cause
I′m
a
star
in
the
ghetto
(I'm
a
star
in
the
ghetto)
If
I
never
make
to
Broadway,
that′ll
be
ok
(keep
on
shining)
I
don't
care
what
the
folks
up
there
in
New
York
(I′m
a
star
in
the
ghetto)
Got
to
say,
oh
no
(oh

Hollywood

Hollywood
will
never
be
my
style
But
I
know
I'm
good,
oh
yeah
Not
just
alright
City
lights,
city
lights
(city
lights)
May
never
shine
for
me
I
may
never
make
it
to
the
top,
no
Win
myself
a
Grammy
Folks
in
New
York
may
never
know
my
name
I
