Boston … I was sitting at a Boston piano when I wrote this song, but I didn’t know that the piano said Boston until like a month later, so it was like a weird thing, like, ‘I don’t know where this song came from.'”<\/p>\n She continued, “I was going to Boston like two weeks after that, because I was touring with Cam Whitcomb and one of the first stops was in Boston, and so I think it was just top-of-mind for me… but he’s not from Boston, but it’s about him. Not from Boston, but about him,” she proclaimed with a smile.<\/p>\n So next time you hear the earworm of a song by Lefty called “Boston,” know that it is<\/em> a true story about her fast-settling relationship with her boyfriend\u00a0\u2014 it’s just a little stretch of the imagination to place him in Boston, since he is from Atlanta.<\/p>\n Country music has already said goodbye to several beloved artists who have retired from performing in 2026, and it appears that more may be joining them in retirement soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Sterling Whitaker<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Country music’s top artists are modern hitmakers and influencers.
