And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy now won't cha settle down Boston 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"
Please come to Denver with the snowfall 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 till 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 cha settle down Denver ain't your kinda 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 LA 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 LA She just said "no, Boy, won't you come home to me" And she said, "hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down LA can't be your kinda 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"
**** It's one of those songs I've always turned up when I hear it on the radio, but never managed to catch (or remember) the artist to find a copy of my own. Results of Googling it just now say it is by David Loggins ( Kenny Loggins' second cousin ), his one and only hit.
On my one and only major road trip, I stopped in Hoople, North Dakota, for a picture of the "Welcome to Hoople" sign, because Peter Schickele (http://www.schickele.com/) is supposedly a professor at "The University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople." Though not nearly as widely known, Peter Schickele is to Classical music what Weird Al Yankovic is to Rock/Pop music. His "research" about PDQ Bach ( "the oddest of JS Bach's twenty-odd children" ) has been a Classical music "Spinal Tap" for over forty years now.

Please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lotsa room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a café here 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 cha settle down
Boston 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"
Please come to Denver with the snowfall
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 till 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 cha settle down
Denver ain't your kinda 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 LA 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 LA
She just said "no, Boy, won't you come home to me"
And she said, "hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down
LA can't be your kinda 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"
