I asked her to come with me in Phoenix; she said no. I asked again from Georgia; she said no. I asked again from Oklahoma; she said no again and I gave up.... she found me in Alaska, and she's in the kitchen right now, making coffee. She just turned 60 and I cry each time I hear this song, thinking what we might have missed had she not come... and pray that everyone can save what we so very nearly lost.

This song defines music from the 60's and 70's. The storytelling songwriters did in that Era was truly amazing and is sorely missed in music today. Growing up in that Era was one of the best times of my life and it spoiled us and set the bar so high, it hasn't been touched since. it was like music had such meaning and purpose and was the stories of all our lives at that time. Don't get me wrong, there has been some really great songs written since, but they only seem to pop up here and there sporadically, there's no consistency like there was back then.

Going down the rabbit hole. One song will lead to another to another band, another memory, another boy, another laugh, another tear. It's sweet.

Wonderful song of the Seventies.Reminds me of my youth in America the memories will never go away!!

This song is the biggest sucker punch to my heart every time I hear it. I start out feeling good, then can't stop the tears by the end of the song. I was just 6 when this song came out, but I vividly remember hearing this and all the other great songs of the day over the radio as I sat in the back seats of my parents' cars. I think it just makes me miss those days, and how great life was back then.

I only wish that the kids of today would take the time to listen to music from the previous generations. Too many of them don't make any effort to do that and I feel that they're really missing out on a lot of great stuff. This is a song that I've rediscovered lately - it has such beautiful lyrics & a very powerful story.

I've been to 47 states and a couple of other countries. I'm 60 and still a rambling boy, this song takes me back to my teens.

"Please Come To Boston".... Loving these classic's from the 70's!!

This song brings back memories of my young adulthood, really just a frightened angry boy in grownups clothes........ wow how complicated I thought life was then...now my life makes those day seem so much simpler.....I LOVED this song then but I really appreciate its SIMPLISTIC BEAUTY now!

Another unforgettable song from the best decade of music the 70s .. I'm about to be 60 year's old soon today's music can't even come close. ..

I remember listening to great music like this on the radio in Los Angeles in the 70s. I'm grateful to have grown up there then.

I just love this song. I think it mirrors so many of our lives ... always searching for something, never quite knowing what it is until sometimes it is too late. I was fortunate i found my love early in life and am lucky and so grateful she has remained with me through all of the bad times and the good times.... soon be 50 of those years... come 2016

Bajandoug congrats on the Golden 50th. my parents made it that far and then some but i'll never see it. this song kinda reminds me of myself and it does mirror many lives. to take a line from an older movie, "paint your wagon". "don't know where i'm goin', don't know when i'll get there, but i'm on my way". may the good Lord bless your family.

One of my all time favorite songs also. Grew up in the 70's. Interesting to see all the comments. Age of the singer songwriter here the whole "album" was the artist and there were songs never on the the radio you thought were great. I miss that. Jim Croce, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Dan Fogleberg. Acoustic and great lyrics and melody's.

Dave Loggins beautiful song that paints a beautiful picture. They don't write songs like this anymore. A lost era. Missing it very much. Life seemed so beautiful then. Thank you for this post.

I was dating a "ramblin boy" in the '70s! I played this song over and over! He never did settle down! But I have lots of fond memories of those years in the 70's! This song brings them all back to me. Emotional song, sung with an emotional voice. I could feel every word! 💞😻

So many songs like this come back as an emotional tidal wave. Like William Faulkner said, 'The past is never gone.. It is not even past.'

"And throw ""I love you"" echoes down the canyons, and then lie awake at night until they come back around" If that line isn't of the highest effort at seeking another's love, I don't know what is.

+Mark T Hey Mark, whats the matter with you? Why would you write such a mean-spirited message to a stranger? Would you feel better if i told you your message really hurt me. Is that what you need to hear? Mark, isn't there enough pain & heartache in the world, without people like you that randomly hurt (or try) a man like me. Mark, there are many people on the edge in this life, and words are powerful to some people. So in the future, why not say something encouraging or maybe just dont say anything at all. Mark, if i read this message & was so weak & distraught that i killed myself, how would that make you feel? I am a thick skinned man, so people like you, angry fools, dont hurt me. But i pray you dont write this to someone at the end of their rope. MARK, WORDS ARE POWERFUL, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WRITE TO PEOPLE.

Came to youtube 3 or 4 years ago to listen to Dan Fogelburg- Same Old Lang Syne at Christmas time and listened to Dave Loggins- Please Come To Boston as well. One of the best songs EVER. So yeah, still listening in late 2019 at 56 years of age. Been listening about every Saturday night since. Drink a few beers and listen to great songs from the 70's on up to now...the old stuff plus Chris Stapleton, War On Drugs, Thunder and Rain, etc.- so much good stuff out here. Timeless classics like this, plus so much more...
