lyrics

Massachusetts stole my baby
On the dark side of the night
I coulda swore that she said maybe
I coulda swore I was alive

Now I could tell you that I love you
But come on, how cliche is that?
So I'll adjust my crooked point of view
And I'll wonder where you're at

You did a bang up job
Of banging up my heart
Why does this state want us apart?

Massachusetts stole my baby
Massachusetts took my girl away
Perhaps she's fled down to the island
Another bad night on the bay

Don't you cry one tear for me
'cause I got myself a plan
I'll wait for you to come on back to me
While sippin' sorrow from a can

You did a bang up job
Of banging up my heart
Why does this state want us apart?

CHORUS

I used to have good days and bad
Lately most are in between
I gave it up, all for love
But then love gave up on me

You did a bang up job
Of banging up my heart
Why does this state want us apart?
The sad state of our affairs

Has left me unawares
On why I even came here in the start

CHORUS

Another bad night on the bay state
Another bad night on the bay
