Things are quiet down on Boston
And that's a rarity these days
And the Citgo sign is a different shade
I haven't seen this town in days
'Cus the world, it just got bigger
And my perception ain't the same
I don't need your comments, boy
I don't need you to play this game
I've started running
(running!)
I'm gonna run, run, run
Till I leave this town behind
'Cus Boston man, it feels alright..
But I got bigger things in mind
I got two bills in my pocket
So with a nickel and a dime,
I can buy this whole free world
In a second and make it mine
The man taught me about freedom
The man taught me about life
He said "man, don't let it get ya down"
"Just take it one day at a time"
I've started running
(running!)
I'm gonna run, run, run
Till I leave this town behind
'Cus Boston man, it feels alright..
But I got bigger things in mind
