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´m 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

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 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
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
