Massachusetts – Bee Gees Lyrics

Feel I’m goin’ back to Massachusetts
Something’s telling me I must go home

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you

Talk about the life in Massachusetts
Speak about the people I have seen

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

I will remember Massachusetts
I will remember Massachusetts
Ah-ahh
