I took a train to my new life I never looked back at all Free from all the hate and strife
And I grew up a little bit Thinking of things to come Seeking out the life Only sought by some
And I guess I got a job And I guess I got a girl But I guess I never got What I was looking for
The golden tomorrow I dreamed of yesterday Is just another phantom Of what I don't have anymore
But I'm not sad I'm not happy either I just can't believe I had to grow up
So I'm headed back to Boston I'm headed back home Maybe Mom was right When she taught me not to roam I'm headed back to Boston Back where I come from Back to all the memories I never could outrun I'm headed back to Boston
I see all familiar faces They greet me with a smile They never found new places
I don't wanna hang my head In sorrow and shame But I don't think I can get out of bed If tomorrow is the same
And what can you do? When you follow your dreams And they just lead back To all the pain
And what can you do? When we sing here comes the sun But it's just a lie To cover all the rain
But I'm not sad I'm not happy either I just can't believe I couldn't make it work
So I'm headed back to Boston I'm headed back home Maybe Mom was right When she taught me not to roam I'm headed back to Boston Back where I come from Back to all the memories I never could outrun I'm headed back to Boston
And I have to believe I'll have another chance Maybe we can all Get away
From Boston... Help me get away I need to Get away
But I'm headed back to Boston I'm headed back home Maybe Mom was right When she taught me not to roam I'm headed back to Boston Back where I come from Back to all the memories I never could outrun
I can't believe I'm back To all the memories I never could outrun, No I never could outrun, No I never could outrun
