Please Come To Boston
Rita Wilson Lyrics

Please come to Boston for the springtime
Inviting someone to come to Boston in the springtime.

I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lotsa room
Staying with friends who have enough space to accommodate visitors.

You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
Suggesting that the visitor can sell their artworks on the street.

By a cafe here I hope to be workin' soon
Expressing the hope to work at a nearby cafe soon.

She said 'No. Would you come home to me?'
Rejection of the invitation and a counter-offer to visit the singer's home instead.

And she said, 'Hey ramblin' boy now won't cha settle down?
Asking the visitor, who loves traveling, to settle down and stop wandering.

Boston ain't your kinda town
Implying that Boston may not suit the visitor's taste.

There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
Stating that Denver does not offer riches, but the singer is unique and irreplaceable to the visitor.

Please come to Denver with the snowfall
Inviting the visitor to Denver when it snows.

We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
Moving to the mountains where they can't be easily located.

And throw 'I love you' echoes down the canyon
Shouting 'I love you' in the canyon and listening to the echoes that return.

And then lie awake at night till they come back around
Staying up all night, listening to the echoes until they dissipate.

She said 'No. Boy, would you come home to me?'
Rejecting the invitation and asking the visitor to come home instead.

'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee'
Stating that the singer's affection is reserved for a man from Tennessee.

Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
Acknowledging that the visitor has a nomadic lifestyle that continuously circles around.

And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
Expressing skepticism that the visitor's wandering would ever stop.

But of all the dreams I've lost or found
Reflecting on the dreams the singer has gained and lost over time.

And all that I ain't got
Acknowledging the singer's wants and desires that have not been fulfilled.

I still need to lean to
Admitting that the singer needs someone to rely on.

Somebody I can sing to
Desiring to have someone to sing to.

Please come to LA to live forever
Inviting the visitor to come to LA to live there permanently.

California life alone is just too hard to build
Admitting that it's difficult to establish a life in California alone.

I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
Describing the location of the singer's house, which has a view of the ocean.

And there's some stars that fell from the sky
Noting the presence of fallen stars near the singer's residence.

Livin' up on the hill
Residing on top of a hill.

She just said 'No. Boy, won't you come home to me?'
Rejecting the invitation again and asking the visitor to come to the singer's home.

'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee'
Reiterating the singer's unwavering support and admiration for a man from Tennessee.
