Santa Fe - Davey's Response

Summary:

Today I thought that it would be super easy to make the 1992 Newsies movie gay, and then I ended up with this. A canon divergence if Davey stopped Jack from leaving to go to Santa Fe instead of Jack randomly turning around.

Notes:

One of my friends Stazzy has made me obsessed with Newsies just like he is, and I have ended up with this. This goes along to Santa Fe, and Davey would sing this to try to convince Jack to stay in New York instead of moving to Santa Fe. After the song ends, Jack would decide to stay.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

So yeah, that’s my kind of family
Mother, daughter, father, son
But not everything you heard about is true
You know, Jack, you still have family
Me and Les, we’re here, for one
Medda, Race, and Crutch, we’re waiting up for you

When you dream, on your own
You’re not alone, though you feel lonely
And I feel as if you slip further away
When the city’s finally sleeping
And your thoughts begin to stray
And you’re on a train that’s bound for Santa Fe

You’d be free, like the wind
But Jack, it wouldn’t last forever
It’s a great big rush, but dreams can always fade
And you got your family right here
There’s no need to move away
Dreams come true, but here too
Not Santa Fe

I’m not saying that you have to live and die here
But maybe you have a few reasons to stay
You don’t always have to take what you’re given
Why would you spend your whole life living
In a place where you don’t have family, I know that I’m just fifteen

But Jack, you know, you can’t just leave and walk away
I know this life doesn’t suit you, but does it have to mean
You leave us all behind, when I say all, I just mean me

Santa Fe, if you leave
Do you swear you won’t forget me
If I found you, would you let me come and stay?

We’re not getting any younger
And if this is what it takes
You want space? Yeah, that’s fair!
You can laugh in my face, I don’t care!
Save a place
I’ll be there

(Jack says something about how Davey shouldn’t go with him because he has school and Les)

So I’m not what you call family
I’m not enough for you to stay
Hope you find what you’re looking for
In Santa Fe
