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 porn 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 Mass 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
