Send "Massachusetts" Ringtone to Cell

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,
Something's telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.

Talk about the life in Massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.

I will remember Massachusetts

    General Comment:I think it references a major blackout that happened in the Northeastern United States and Maritime Canada in the late sixties. I'm a native of Massachusetts and remember hearing this song when I was young, I thought it was the state song (it should be), and again when I was an exchange student in Germany in the early 1990s (I was at an anniversary dinner at a restaurant outside of Neu Ulm with my host family, the hosts of the dinner hired a musician who played this song).
