The Rock of Boston

Am I falling into old patterns?
Pretty sure I've seen you here before
Still afraid of disappointing your parents
Still surprised they're not around anymore

Oh Massachusetts
Why do you I bother
With all your shipwrecks and your anti-freeze
We were the rock of Boston, a funny way of talkin'
Like broken records playing on repeat

I'd really love to see my brother David
We don't talk much like we did before
Cause he refuses to get vaccinated
And I refuse to start a civil war

Under the family quilt made by cousin Jean
That thing has been around since 1973
Its like a magic carpet its like a time machine
There's nothing back here for me just the same old routine

Am I falling into old patterns every time I pick up my guitar?
Still here waiting for an accident to happen
Still surprised I'm in the same old car

I'd really love to be in Massachusetts
With all your shipwrecks and your anti-freeze
We were the rock of Boston, with our funny way of talkin'
