Please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm staying here with some friends and they've got lots of room
And you can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be working soon
Please come to Boston
But she said "No, would you come home to me."

And she said "Ramblin' boy, why don't ya 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 with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far 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
Please come to Denver
She said "No, would you come home to me."

And she said "Ramblin' boy, why don't ya 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 if it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I still need to lean to
Somebody I can sing to

Please come to L. A. To live forever
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.
But she said "No, would you come home to me."

And she said "Ramblin' boy, why don't ya settle down?
L. A. 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... "

I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee
