He said please come to Boston

For the springtime

I'm stayin' 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 workin' soon

Please come to Boston

I said no, boy would you come home to me



Chorus:

And I said, ramblin' boy

Why don't you settle down

(Boston, Denver, L.A.) 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 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



Chorus w/ Denver:



Now that drifters world

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's 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 to 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 upon the hill

Please come to L.A.

I just said no

Boy, won't you come home to me



Chorus w/ L.A.:
