"Broadway" Lyrics:

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' 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
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

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 loser's day parade

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Round here, yeah

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

Why in the hell this band is so overlooked is beyond me. This dude is a lyrical genius and the music is freakin killer. They definitely don't get the respect they deserve...

[MicaRayan]

Even after decades; it is still sounds current and evergreen. I miss the 90's. Most tune on radio nowadays are just plain silly

[villainstreamthatbadguybon]

Love this band, ,,helped me through my family passing ...and alcohol addiction...and still helps

[andygullion]

Johnny and the band stuck with it and did a lot of great work, they should be very proud of what they created.

[max_payne]

the vibe of goo goo dolls is badass. I don't know why but I feel like I'm connected to this band. they talk about society, human problems. lost and suicidal I dont know how to explain.. but this band speak deeper part of myself.

[wayneambrose]

My amazing wife introduced me to this song! She knew that this 74 year old soul would love it! She has extraordinary taste in music and movies! That’s what keeps us going strong! We share a passion for both! As she often tells me that “age is just a number on a page”! Pick one and read that chapter!

[heathernikki]

It's amazing how songs you liked at 15 mean so much more at 35

[smellamyblake]

this band is a freakin legand! Long live Johnny

[uTubeNoITube]

One of the few songs that makes me happy & sad all at once, what a band!

[jgfu-wucw]

First song my son heard on the day he was born. Had to start him off right 🙌❤❤❤❤

[ChipsForDips]

“...it always rains like hell on the Losers Day Parade.” Always loved that lyric.

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' 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
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you're 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
When you're thinkin' of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin' round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
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
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

Very thought-provoking and relevant lyrics as you grow up and get older

[menomoniehockey]

Goo Goo Dolls was my first concert in my entire life. My mother and sister brought me to it when I was 10. I didn't know how awesome what I was seeing was. What I wouldn't give to go back to that concert and rock the fuck out!!!

[OuttaEgypt]

Watching this video gets me all nostalgic; the 90's were definitely the best.
Since then, good mainstream music has been dying a very slow and gruesome death.

[dizilizid]

God, his voice is so amazing. What a very very underrated band. They are fooking fantastic.

[belateddrsteve]

man...back in the 90s living outside of Buffalo....these guys were THE shit....what an awesome feeling everytime you heard them on the radio...and still to this day

[rednax]

Love it because it refers to downtown Buffalo, and just like Johnny that's my home town!

[jamessimoncavage]

I loved this song back then, and also love it now! Johnny 's vocals never get old.

[wolfymewmew]

im 32 years old now and i remember being a kid in the 90s and listening to this on the radio

[SirNameEntity]

Something about their songs always sounds sincere
