New England - Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts Seems like every other week and there's a meeting waiting there Business must be booming or could something else Be moving in the air up there You say that it's important for our future An executive on her way up has got to play the part And each time duty calls you've got to give it all You've got with all your heart So when whoever's in New England's through with you And Boston finds better things to do You know it's not too late 'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to When whoever's in New England's through with you I hear the winter time up north can last forever I've been told it's beautiful to see this time of year They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind Just disappears I hear I packed your bags and left them in the hallway But before you leave again there's just one thing you outta know When the icy winds blows through you remember that it's me Who feels the cold most of all So when whoever's in New England's through with you And Boston finds better things to do You know it's not too late 'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to When whoever's in New England's through with you
