For the girl with a smile That could take your breath away, I'm thinking "Everything's gon' be alright" And everything was gonna be alright Maybe I thought I could sweep it And sweep her out her feet and go right back to Boston thinking "Everything's gon' be alright" And everything was gonna be alright The streets keep holding on But now she's so far gone Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band 'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
