From Nashville to Asheville to North Carolina I searched far and wide to see if I could find A woman I could call my own so I could buy her a ring and build her a home But I always ended up by myself With the blues in my heart and my love on the shelf So I went from Chicago to Detroit, Michigan but I left the singles bar thinking I'd never have a wish again and off to Minneapolis and maybe St. Paul The girls there have an accent I don't understand at all I'm telling you boys, I've been across the world if you want to fall in love go find a Boston Girl Well, when I got to L.A. things couldn't have been worse I was kissing with a girl and her implant burst I didn't want a p**n star or an actress wannabe So I moved to San Francisco, but my she was a he And oh woe is me off to Salt Lake City, Utah where if you look at a girl, you're breaking the law I even had a date with a psycho in Seattle where picking the restaurant and the movie was a battle And in Phoenix, Arizona I had a candlelight dinner but she ate with her hands and wiped her face with her fingers I'm telling you boys, I've been across the world I want an elegant, intelligent Boston Girl
Well, Albany's so fun I spent a month there one day but Buffalo is cool so I can't stay away In Philly and Washington and Atlantic City I was searching and sulking until it finally hit me that maybe I should end my year long trip and forget about the dream of a relationship Connect to the Ma** Pike at I-95 Singing George Jones the whole way that I drive Couldn't tell if I was glad or not to be back home with three new gray hairs and two old tires blow So exhausted from my trip around the world the last thing on my mind was a Boston Girl But you see Boston Girls know how to deal with the traffic and Boston Girls don't have attitude 'cause they have it They can be dressed up or they can be dressed down They know just what to do when their man's in town So I was picking the weeds in my lonely backyard suddenly I turned around to hear a lawnmower start It was a beautiful brunette who said "Get out of my way" I said "Whose lawn is this anyway?" It can be yours and mine if we work real hard because the best kind of love is in your own backyard So for love done light take a trip around the world for a job done right go find a Boston Girl-->
