Verse1.
I watch the plane fly away, from the place it left me
with a coldness in my heart.
This old place dont look familar to me now,
but I suppose it's good to be home.
All my ambitions and my dreams left on that jetplane,
back to the place that I belong.
Chorus.
Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see it again
I want to be there again.
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away.
Verse2.
Dont get me wrong I love the country I come from
and my roots I'd never want to change.
But it was in the U-S of A that I finally found my way
a steady road I walked on.
All the bills I could not pay, so they sent me away,
and now all I think of is-
Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see her again
I want to feel it again.
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away.
Verse3.
Now my girl waits for me, hoping someday for my return.
but it seems so far away.
I hate to put her through this pain, to hear her cry on the line
I cannot comfort her of hold her hand.
I cant stand this hell, I might as well be in jail,
if I'm not with her.
My soul companion I did meet, when I lived on Bostons streets
I've got to get back somehow....to
Sweet Massachusettes, I want to hold her again
I've got to hold her again.
I need to see her again, I want to love her again. ect ect..
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away.
Sweet Massachusettes, sweet Massachusettes, sweet Massachusettes
fade....
