| Please come to Boston for the spring time.
 | 
| 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.
 | 
| She said, «No.
 | 
| Would you come home to me?»
 | 
| And she said, «Hey, ramblin' boy,
 | 
| Now won’t you 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 snow fall.
 | 
| 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.
 | 
| Please come to Denver.
 | 
| She said, «No.
 | 
| Boy, would you come home to me?»
 | 
| And she said, «Hey, ramblin' boy,
 | 
| Why don’t you settle down?
 | 
| Denver ain’t your kind of town.
 | 
| There ain’t no gold and
 | 
| There ain’t nobody like me.
 | 
| 'Cause 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 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
 | 
| And livin' up on the hill.
 | 
| Please come to L. A.
 | 
| She just said, «No.
 | 
| Boy, won’t you come home to me?»
 | 
| And she said, «Hey, ramblin' boy,
 | 
| Why don’t you settle down?
 | 
| L. A. can’t be your kind of town.
 | 
| There ain’t no gold and
 | 
| There ain’t nobody like me.
 | 
| No, no, I’m the number one fan
 | 
| Of the man from Tennessee.
 | 
| I’m the number one fan
 | 
| Of the man from Tennessee.» |
