lyrics

Standing at the station, a ticket in my hand
Leaning up against The Sun in it’s newspaper stand
Standing with my brother, looking down the tracks
In comes the 10:04 to Boston, he get’s on and I look back
Then get on board

Well driving down this morning, a coastline full of fog
We passed sandy mercantiles and sleepy mom-n-pops
A joke was made on the radio, I wished I had more to say
I didn’t but the town of Westerly looked good today
On our way

Now we’re headed for the state line
And I’m trying to make a change in my mind

So Boston, Boston
Up to your ears in liberty
Boston, oh Boston
Boston please, I’m sick of being me

We step outside the station and head toward Jamaica Plain
We go and meet our sister, it’s so good to see her again
Summer’s in the afternoon, and summer’s in the streets
We take pictures by a statue of some famous athlete
My brother knows

Old graves, and Cheers, and Paul Revere, now we’re in the bar
Next to a bride-to-be, she’s got on glitter, got on stars
I wish I loved the buzz here, man I wish I did
I got a vodka tonic in my hand and just wanna be a kid
Again


So Boston, Boston
Up to your ears in liberty
Boston, I’m lost and
Boston please, I’m so tired of me
