Save Me, San Francisco

[Verse 1]

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

They left me with these blisters on my skin

[Verse 2]

Don't know what I was on

But I think it grows in Oregon

So I kept on going, going, gone, right through

I drove into Seattle rain

Fell in love, then missed the train

That could've took me right back home to you

[Chorus]

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?

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]

Every day's 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

[Verse 4]

I never knew all that I had

Now Alcatraz don't sound so bad

At least they'd 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

[Chorus]

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?

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?

[Bridge]

To tell you the truth

I miss everything, everything

It's a wild, wide, beautiful world

But there's a wide-eyed girl back there

And she means everything, everything

[Chorus]

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?

[Outro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh-oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh (Save me, San Francisco)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh-oh

Won't you save me, San Francisco?

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh-oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh (Save me, San Francisco)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh-oh

Won't you save me, San Francisco?
