Lyrics
They told me, "the streets are all paved with gold!"
But these dirty sidewalks are gray, and concrete cold
They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
But how 'bout this one blinking in my room all night?
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?
I gotta find it soon, just like I said I'd do
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
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?
Oh, it's so lonely here, too far from home and you
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?
I haven't found it here, and it gets me down
But I can't give it to
This magic town
This magic town
This magic town
