(Sidney Cox and Suzanne Cox)

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition

I came here to sink or swim

And to show them all that they were wrong

And though I never thought I'd make it this far



So the curtains are down

For the moment I'm someone

There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way

Now there gone

But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are



When I'm down and I'm growing old

I won't be along no railroad track

I won't be bound to a life out in the cold

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway

And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home



When I'm down and I'm growing old

I won't be along no railroad track

I won't be bound to a life out in the cold

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway

And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home



Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years

I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here



It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway

And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home
