Rock of Boston

Rock OF Boston

Am I falling into old patterns

Pretty sure I’ve seen you here before

Still afraid of disappointing your parents 

Still surprised they’re not around anymore 

Oh Massachusetts, why do I bother 

Our funny way of talking 

Like broken records playing on repeat 

I’d really love to see my brother David 

We don’t talk much like we did before

He refuses to get vaccinated 

I refuse to start a Civil War 

Under the family quilt knit by Cousin Jean

This thing has been around since 1973 

It’s like a magic carpet 

It’s like a time machine 

There’s nothing back there for me 

Just the same old routines 

Am I falling into old patterns 

Everytime I pick up my guitar

Still here waiting for an accident to happen 

Still surprised I’m in the same old car 

I’d really love to be in Massachusetts 

With all your shipwrecks and your antifreeze

We were the rock of boston 

With our funny way of talking
