Yes, I love the refrain from the girlfriend:

 

 

"She said, No, would you come home to me?

 

 


And she said,  Hey ramblin' boy, now won't you settle down?


Boston ain't your kinda town


There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me


I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

A year and a half ago I was in the hospital in Boston and for some reason I had that song floating around in my head the whole time I was there.

So sorry to hear this.  I saw Dave at East Tennessee State University when he was the opening act for the Five Man Electrical Band.  Loved his music and bought his albums.  He was a talented singer song writer and so fit into that time.  

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.
