    1. A LIttle East of Broadway

    My great-grandfather never really knew his son

    He'd battled with the bottle and the bottle won

    My gramps would often wander outside those barrooms where he'd play

    And he took with him that little piece

    As he walked away

     

    Just a little East of Broadway

    The dream of brighter lights

    In search of bigger stages

    A life of better nights

    The song he carried with him

    Every day of his life

    Just a little East of Broadway

    Where the planes fly low tonight

     

    Gramps he joined the Navy at only 17

    Home from the South Pacific to start a family

    And he lived his life in conflict with the one that he'd known

    Except that new piano he brought into his home

     

    Just a little East of Broadway

    The dream of brighter lights

    In search of bigger stages

    A life of better nights

    The song he carried with him

    Every day of his life

    Just a little East of Broadway

    Where the planes fly low tonight

     

    Despite the days and times, we are never out of song

    'Cause the music finds the laughter, as the voices sing along

    My uncle gave me my first guitar and it didn't take me long

    Gramps gave me that old piano and it's where I wrote this song

    On Sunday nights I play guitar in a bar downtown

    And I wonder if those years ago is where he came around

     

    And my friends on East Broadway

    Are waiting there to sing along

    We'll forget ourselves together

    In the chorus of a song

     

    Just a little East of Broadway

    The dream of brighter lights

    In search of bigger stages

    A life of better nights

    The song he carried with him

    Every day of his life

    Just a little East of Broadway

    Where the planes fly low tonight
