Verse 1:
They told me the streets were all paved with gold

But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold
They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
But how 'bout the one blinking in

Chorus:
And where's the magic in this magic town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?

Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true

Before I bring you to (to coda)
Verse 2:
They said in this town you get rich in no time
But here I am and I'm down to my last dime
I just don't know why I bother to try
When nobody here gives a hang
If I live or die
