June gets an offer to attend a performing arts school, but Rose makes her turn it down to continue performing. This song shows the “what if” of June leaving with the reality that she’s staying with the act
[FARM BOYS]
Broadway, Broadway, we've missed it so
We're leaving soon
And taking June
To star her in a show
Bright lights, white lights
Rhythm and romance
The train is late
So while we wait
We're gonna do a little dance
[Dance Break]
[JUNE]
Broadway, Broadway, how great you are
I'll leave the farm
With all its charm
To be a Broadway star
Bright lights, white lights
Where the neons glow
My bag is packed
I've got my act
So all aboard, come on, let's go
[YONKERS, spoken]
All aboard
[JUNE, spoken]
Goodbye
Goodbye
Caroline, take care
Don't forget to write
Wait! Stop the train!
Stop everything!
I can't go to Broadway with you!
[LITTLE ROCK, spoken]
Why not, Dainty June?
[JUNE, spoken]
Because
Everything in life that truly matters is right here
What care I for tinsel or glamour
When I have friendship and true love?
I'm staying here with Caroline!
[FARM BOYS, spoken]
Hooray!
