Boston (1833–1850), was an outstanding chestnut Thoroughbred racehorse and a Leading sire in North America three times from 1851 to 1853. He started in about 45 races, winning 40 of these, including 15 in succession. Boston was later one of the initial inductees into the Hall of Fame.
He was a chestnut stallion with a white blaze on his nose and he was foaled in Richmond, Virginia. Boston was bred by the Virginia attorney John Wickham (who had been Aaron Burr's counsel in his trial for treason). He was by the very good racehorse, Timoleon (by the great Sir Archy), his dam was Sister to Tuckahoe by Ball’s Florizel. Boston was inbred to Diomed in the third generation (3m x 3f). He was a half-brother to the Shylock mare who founded a successful family. They were from the number 40 family which traced back to the imported mare, Kitty Fisher.
As a two-year-old, Boston was lost by his breeder in a card game and was given to Wickham's friend Nathaniel Rives, of Richmond to repay his debt of $800. He was named after a popular card game and later given the nickname of "Old Whitenose". Boston had a wilful temperament and was difficult to train. Sent to the stable of John Belcher, and then to the trainer L. White, and then back to Belcher, White said, "The horse should either be castrated or shot—preferably the latter."
A Boston is a cocktail made with London dry gin, apricot brandy, grenadine, and the juice of a lemon.
The Boston refers to a series of various step dances, considered a slow Americanized version of the waltz presumably named after where it originated. It is completed in one measure with the weight kept on the same foot through two successive beats. The "original" Boston is also known as the New York Boston or Boston Point.

and no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you can find
the time to stay with me
Oh I've got no time for wastin'
gotta live a life when I can
I won't hide if you decide
to let me be your man
Cause when I get close to you
not much to say
I get that same old feeling
I had in my younger days
(chorus)
And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day
Hey you know I would concede
and I think we both agree
You and I can testify
that love is what we need
Just take a look around you
livin' for the future is blind
I believe what we can achieve
will soon be left behind
The things I try to say
are so hard to find
When you doubt what your love is
about let me ease you mind
(chorus)
Hey I've got no place to be
and no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you find
that you're in love with me
Well we got no time to worry
gotta live a life when I can
I won't hide if you decide
to let me be your man
