5th & Broadway

When she was just a young girl

She had a lot of dreams

Like moving from a small town to a bigger city

Her parents always warned her saying darling don't you leave

But nothing could stop her from doing what she believed yea

So she took a flight late at night from her home all alone down to california

She left a note that she wrote on her bed and it read 'poppa i told ya

But i'll be back someday

Don't ya worry bout me ooohh'

And she knows that dreams

Can't come true

Unless she believes

And wants them to

And he knows there's more

In this old bookstore

Someday they'll see that love is right around the corner

On fifth and broadway.

This is where he grew up got drunk and threw up

Skipped class to do whatever till it blew up

In his face his dad thought it was a waste put him back in his place

But his grandma showed him love and his grandpa showed him grace down in ob

He loved just hanging with the homies on newport ave eating burgers down at hodads and before his gramps passed away he said 'you better write a book like me someday'

So he started to write late at night in his home all alone

About life in the city

About a millionaire who lost it all and got it back in a year

Down to the last penny and look at him now

He's on top of the world

And she knows that dreams

Can't come true

Unless she believes

And wants them to

And he knows there's more

In this old bookstore

Someday they'll see that love is right around the corner

On fifth and broadway.

Kinda funny how a life can change

Everything gets rearranged

Nothings ever gonna be the same

Day after day page after page

It's kinda funny how she reads this town

Like a novel that she can't put down.
