The Boston Song

©2011
I’ll try walking for change
Yeah today I’m a songbird and this house is an empty cage
It’d be easy to act my age
If I could hold down a day job like I fill up an empty page
I gave you my best years, I wrote you my best songs
Oh I stuck with you time and time again
Now I’m headed for the hills
Take the stars of Virginia for the street lights of Somerville
Just know I’ll miss you; I know I will
But you’ll bounce right back that’s the one thing about you
You never stand still
You never stand still
I gave you my best years, I wrote you my best songs
Oh I stuck with you time and time again
But you broke into my car, you raised the rent
Oh Boston, you were a cold, cold friend
So goodbye skyline I won’t forget
The way you looked when we first met
Goodbye winter, goodbye snow
I can’t explain – sometimes you just know
You just know
I gave you my best years, I wrote you my best songs
Oh I stuck with you time and time again
But you broke into my car, you raised the rent
Oh Boston, you were a cold, cold friend
Oh Boston, you are an old, old friend

ATB,
Sam
