Lyrics
When I got to Boston
I was all alone
But I knew I was home
And everybody was my friend
Took a walk along the Common
Passed the peanut man
And all the children of the land
And for the first time I was free
Sometimes I sit along the Charles
Smilin', not carin' where I go
Highways stretching toward tomorrow
People not knowing where they go
Took a train to Cambridge
Got off at Harvard Square
Saw all the people there
And for the first time
I was free
I was free
