ATF: Where?

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Please Come To Boston

Dave Loggins

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 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’tcha 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

‘Til 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’tcha 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 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.

She just said no

Boy won't you come home to me

And she said

Hey ramblin' boy

Why don’tcha settle down

L.A. 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

Luckenbach, Texas

Waylon Jennings (with Willie Nelson)

The only two things in life

That make it worth livin'

Is guitars that tune good

And firm-feelin' women

I don't need my name in the marquee lights

I got my song

And I got you with me tonight

Maybe it's time we got back

To the basics of love

Let's go to

Luckenbach, Texas

With Waylon and Willie

And the boys

This successful life we're livin'

Got us feudin’ like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between

Hank Williams' pain songs and

Newberry's train songs

And Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain

Out in Luckenbach, Texas

Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

So baby let's sell your diamond ring

Buy some boots and faded jeans

And go away

This coat and tie is chokin’ me

In your high society

You cry all day

We've been so busy

Keepin' up with the Jones

Four-car garage

And we're still buildin’ on

Maybe it's time we got back

To the basics of love

Let's go to

Luckenbach, Texas

With Waylon and Willie

And the boys

This successful life we're livin'

Got us feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between

Hank Williams' pain songs and

Newberry's train songs

And Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain

Out in Luckenbach, Texas

Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Let's go to
Luckenbach, Texas

With Willie and Waylon

And the boys

This successful life we're livin'

Got us feudin' like the Hatfield and McCoys

Between Hank Williams' pain song sand

Jerry Jeff's train songs

And Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain

Out in Luckenbach, Texas

There ain't nobody feelin' no pain
