  • 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 café where I hope to be workin' soon
    Please come to Boston
    She said "No, would you come home to me?"

    And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy now won't cha settle down?"
    "Boston ain't your kinda town"
    "There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
    "I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

    Please come to Denver with the snowfall
    We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
    And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
    And then lie awake at night till they come back around
    Please come to Denver
    She said "No, boy, would you come home to me?"

    And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?"
    "Denver ain't your kinda town"
    "There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
    "'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

    Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
    And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
    But of all the dreams I've lost or found
    And all that I ain't got
    I still need to lean to
    Somebody I can sing to

    Please come to LA to live forever
    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
    Livin' up on the hill
    Please come to LA
    She just said "No, boy, won't you come home to me?"

    And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?"
    "LA can't be your kinda town"
    "There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
    "No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
