I used to love the tenderloin til
I made some tender coin Then I met some ladies from
Marin We took the highway to the
One Up the coast to catch some sun
That left me with these blisters on my skin
Don't know what
I was on but I think it grows in
Oregon So I kept on going going on right through
I drove in to Seattle rain fell in love then missed the train
Could have took me right back home to you
I've been high I've been low
I've been yes and I've been oh hell no
I've been rock 'n roll and disco won't you save me
San Francisco Ooh ooh ooh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Every day so caffeinated I wish they were
Golden Gated Fillmore couldn't feel more miles away
So wrap me up return to sender
let's forget this five year bender
take me to my city by the bay
I never knew all that I had now
Alcatraz don't sound so bad
At least they have a hella fine merlot
If I could wish upon a star
I would hitch a cable car To the place that
I can always call my own
I've been high I've been low
I've been yes and I've been oh hell no
I been rock 'n roll and disco
Won't you save me San Francisco I've been up
I've been down
I've been so damn lost since you're not around
I been reggae and calypso Won't you save me
San Francisco To tell you the truth
I miss everything everything
It's a wild wild beautiful world
but there's a wide eyed girl back there
And she means everything everything
I've been stop I've been go
I've been yes and I've been oh hell no
I've been rock 'n roll
and disco won't you save me San
Francisco I've been up I've been down
I've been so damn lost since you're not around
I've been reggae and calypso won't you save me
San Francisco oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh won't you save me
San Francisco oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
won't you save me San Francisco
