Please Come To Boston Lyrics
Please come to Boston for the springtime
I’m staying here with some friends and they’ve got lots of room
We can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a café where I hope to be working soon
Please come to Boston
She said, “No, baby you come home to me”
And she said, “Hey ramblin’ 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 when the snow falls
We’ll move up into the mountains so far that we can’t be found
Throw 'I love you' echoes down the canyon
Then we’ll lie awake at night when they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said, “No, you come home to me”
And she said, “Hey ramblin’ 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.”
Please come to L.A. and live forever
The California life alone is just too hard to bear
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there’s some stars that fell from the sky
That live upon the hill
Please come home to L.A.
She said, “No, you come home to me”
And she said, “Hey ramblin’ 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.”
I’m staying here with some friends and they’ve got lots of room

She said, “No, baby you come home to me”
And she said, “Hey ramblin’ 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 not sure what Dave Loggins (the songwriter) intended this song to mean, but it has special meaning to me. To me, it symbolizes my relationship with this girl to whom I was willing to give the world, but she was too afraid of disrupting her little niche in the world that she refuses to this day. To me, Boston, Denver, and L.A. are the symbols of this man's love for this woman, and Tennessee is her little spot to which she is anchored. It's really a heartbreaking song.
The fact that this song isn't listed under Dave Loggins is why I felt the need to submitt his name. It's kind of stupid that they have 2 people down for having done this song and they don't have the original singer/songwriter who wrote and performed it.
