He said please come to Boston For the springtime I'm stayin' 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 workin' soon Please come to Boston I said no, boy would you come home to me [Chorus] (And) I said, ramblin' boy Why don't you settle down (Boston, Denver, 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 He said, 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 echos Down the canyons And then lie awake at night Until they come back around Please come to Denver I just said no boy won't you come home to me [Chorus] Now that drifter's word Goes round and round And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop But of all the dreams He's lost or found And all that I ain't got He's still needs to lean to Somebody he can sing to He said 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 Livin' up on the hill Please come to L.A. I just said no Boy, won't you come home to me [Chorus] I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee Tennessee
