You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there Business must be booming or could something else Be moving in the air up there You say that its important for our future An executive on his way up has got to play the part Each time duty calls you got to give it all You've got with all your heart When whoever's in New England is through with you And Boston finds better things to do You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to go When whoever's in New England's through with you I hear the winter time up north can last forever I've been told its beautiful to see this time of year They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind Just disappears I hear I packed your bags and left them in the hallway But before you leave again there's just one thing you outta know When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me Who feels the cold most of all When whoever's in New England is through with you And Boston finds better things to do You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to go When whoever's in New England's through with you
