to Boston for the springtime
I'm staying with some friends
and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings
By a cafe where I hope that
Please come to Boston, she said no
Would you come home to me?
why don't you settle down?
Boston ain't your kind of town
and there ain't nobody like me
of the man from Tennessee
And throw all of your echoes
And then lie awake at night
till they come back around
Please come to Denver, she said, no
why don't you settle down?
Denver ain't your kind of town
and there ain't nobody like me
of the man from Tennessee
I doubt it's ever gonna stop
And of all the dreams I've lost and found
I need someone to cling to
Please come to L .A. and live forever
In California, life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks
Please come to L .A., she said, no
why don't you settle down?
L .A. ain't your kind of town
and there ain't nobody like me
of the man from Tennessee
