I'm staying here with some friends and they've got lots of room
 And you can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
 By a cafe where I hope to be working soon
 Please come to Boston
 But she said "No, would you come home to me."

 And she said "Ramblin' boy, why don't ya 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..."

 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 canyon
 And then lie awake at night until they come back around
 Please come to Denver
 She said "No, would you come home to me."

 And she said "Ramblin' boy, why don't ya settle down?
 Denver 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..."

      Now this drifter's world goes round and round
      And I doubt if 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 L.A. 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 L.A.
 But she said "No, would you come home to me."

 And she said "Ramblin' boy, why don't ya settle down?
 L.A. 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..."

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