I truly don't know why this song always brings tears to my eyes:

I just can't figure out why, but it is a very beautiful song.

1. It was a 'going home' song. Back then.

Boston was pretty much anywhere in New England.

2. The one for me was Sweet Baby James ..... "And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston."

We were a pair for two years and we alternated every two weeks, between Somerville and N.J.

She was one of the many "ones that got away." but her going, hit me hard. That was 30 years ago and I still think about her.

4. Wow!

I actually didn’t see your comment until I had posted below. That was the exact phrase that was dancing in my head also.

6. I encourage you, go on Youtube and play Sweet Baby James cover by The Seldom Scene.

5. Me too! played it often after daughter was born and before

I returned to work.

3. I love it

New England songs touch me, too. James Taylor’s description at 1:25 are why.
