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
She said, "No, boy, you come home to me"

She said, "Hey 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

Please come to Denver to see the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far we can't be found
And throw I love you echos down the canyons
And then lie awake at night until they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said, No, boy, you come home to me"

She said, "Hey 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 world goes 'round and 'round
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop
And of all the dreams I've lost or found and all that I ain't got
I need somebody I can cling to, somebody I can sing to

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.
She said, "No, boy, you come home to me"

She said, "Hey rambling boy, why don't you settle down?
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
