You said please come to Boston for the springtime
You're stayin' there with friends and they've got lotsa room
I can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
You said please come to Boston
I said no would you come home to me
Hey ramblin' boy why don'tcha 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
You said 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 until they come back around
You said please come to Denver
I said no boy would you come home to me
Hey ramblin' boy why don'tcha 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 that it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams you've lost or found
And all that you ain't got
You still need to cling to somebody you can sing to
You said please come to LA to live forever
California life alone is just too hard to build
You live in a house that looks out over the ocean
There's some stars that fell from the sky
And then livin' upon the hill
You said please come to LA
I said no boy won't you come home to me
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
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee
