Massachusetts Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

Like a dream in the night 

As the snow settles white 

There's a fire burning bright 

In Massachusetts 

And there's a house upon a hill 

That keeps us from the chill 

And by the grace of God 

We will be in Massachusetts 

You can tell me about the times you spent 

In the Rockies and on the plains 

Please don't think that I'm the last to say 

That there ain't lots of other places 

In this world that still remain 

Beautiful and unchanged 

But they're just not the same 

The sun comes up to meet the dawn 

And there's a day that must go on 

There's another night that's gone 

In Massachusetts 

And I could spend all of my days 

And remain each day amazed 

At the way each day is phrased 

In Massachusetts 

You can tell me about the times you spent 

In the Rockies and on the plains 

Please don't think that I'm the last to say 

That there ain't lots of other places 

In this world that still remain 

Beautiful and unchanged 

But they're just not the same 

Now if you could only see 

I know you would agree 

There ain't nowhere else to be 

Like Massachusetts 

And there's a house upon a hill 

That keeps us from the chill 

And by the grace of God 

We will be in Massachusetts 

Come on tell me about the time you spent 

In the Rockies and on the plains 

And please don't think that I'm the last to say 

That there ain't lots of other places 

In this world that still remain 

Beautiful and unchanged 

But they're just not the same as Massachusetts
