Please Come to Boston

He said "Please come to Boston for the springtime

I'm staying here with some friends and they've got lots of room

You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk

By a cafe where I hope to be working soon

Please come to Boston"

I said "No

Boy would you come home to me?"

I said "Rambling boy, why don't you settle down?

Boston ain't your kind of town

There ain't no gold, and there ain't nobody like me

I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

He said "Please come to Denver with the snowfall

We'll move up into the mountains so far we can't be found

And throw I-love-you echoes down on the canyons

And then lie awake at night until they come back around

Please come to Denver"

I just said "No

Boy won't you come home to me?"

I said "Rambling boy, why don't you settle down?

Denver ain't your kind of town

There ain't no gold, and there ain't nobody like me

I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

Now that drifter's word goes 'round and 'round

And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop

But of all the dreams he's lost or found

And all that I ain't got

He still needs to lean to somebody he can sing to

He said "Please come to L.A. to live forever

A California life alone is just too hard to build

I live in a house that looks out over the ocean

And there's some stars that fell from the sky living up on the hill

Please come to L.A."

I just said "No

Boy won't you come home to me?"

I said "Rambling boy, why don't you settle down?

L.A. can't be your kind of town

There ain't no gold, and there ain't nobody like me

I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

Tennessee
