Somewhere in Boston

Well she was born a city girl
I knew it from the start
But it never came so clear
Until she moved there with my heart

Are the sidewalks paved in gold
Or are they running with sin
I don't know how long it'll be
Before I see her again

But Somewhere in Boston's pretty lights
She'll get lost in someone else's eyes
I'll be tossing 'til those streets start turning white
Hoping she'll change her mind
And head on further south
See the dogwood flowers falling down
And find out what our love was all about
And ride it out
But until then I know she'll be happy in
Some old high rise
Somewhere in Boston

Somewhere in Boston, yeah yeah

I know the weather up there
Well it just ain't the same
She'll never smile when it starts to rain
It can't only be just me to blame
Yeah she told me a couple of times
That she don't like the taste of moonshine
She'd rather spend her nights
Alone inside
Sipping Napa Valley wine

'Cause Somewhere in Boston's pretty lights
She'll get lost in someone else's eyes
I'll be tossing 'til those streets start turning white
Hoping she'll change her mind
And head on further south
See the dogwood flowers falling down
And find out what our love was all about
And ride it out
But until then I know she'll be happy in
Some old high rise
Somewhere in Boston

Yeah it could take her twenty years
To realize what she's missing here
Or she'll fall in love down on the pier

But Somewhere in Boston's pretty lights
She'll get lost in someone else's eyes
I'll be tossing 'til those streets start turning white
Hoping she'll change her mind
And head on further south
See the dogwood flowers falling down
And find out what our love was all about
And ride it out
But until then I know she'll be happy in
Some old high rise
Somewhere in Boston
Yeah Somewhere in Boston yeah, yeah
Somewhere in Boston, yeah

I'll be tossing 'til those streets start turning white
'Til those streets start turning white
'Til those streets start turning white
