I was just a tourist out on the white way
lights make night as bright as day and day as dark as night
I visited the city all the finer sights
Then I thought I'd do some slummin' for a little one night
Well I stepped into the shadows of a rate cafe
The burlesques before me in their old familiar way
As I drew near my table the front whirled around
And I recognized my from my own hometown
Yes she was a hometown high school beauty queen
But everybody her how she could be everything
When the contest ended and the judges called her name
She won a trip to Broadway where she find the fame
I slowly turned around and stepped back crowd
For I knew she mustn't seen me she always was too
And in that one lonely moment the truth my mind
The town she loved may failed her the she thought she failed
So that night I wrote a letter on a homeward bound
And it read congratulations to you on your
But if you should decide to come back home again
Well you know always be here waitin' just like I've always been
I was just a out on the great white way
Where lights made night as bright as day and day as as night
When old friends ask about her I just smile at and say
She's star of show on Broadway out on the great way
