San Francisco

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Go if you want to go

But I won't follow

Just so you know

Leave if you need to leave

But I won't be here

I wont be here when you come home

I'm gonna to move to San Francisco

Look up some old friends

I'm gonna get me a navy pea coat

And an old Mercedes Benz

This old town it keeps shrinking

There's too many people in my junk

I'm gonna do a lot of drinking

Cause it don't hurt when I'm drunk

Chorus

I'm gonna rent me an old Victorian

Down in the Lower Haight

I'm gonna find me an old accordion

Play for the tourists on the golden gate

I'm gonna plant a garden

Paint my bathroom blue

I'm gonna try real hard

To get over you

chorus

Here in the city life doesn't move so slow

There's plenty of good people I know

Up in north beach they drink spicy Italian liqueur

Down on market there's a lot of hobos and the hustlers

Down in Hayes Valley, there's a lot of real good restaurants

Deep in the tenderloin you can get anything you want

Over in the mission it's always a sunny day

It's a real good baseball town but my team is across the bay
