Two happy people on a Greyhound bus
We came here looking for a life for us
But the nightlife is his new life
And the only thing I’ve found
Is San Francisco is a lonely town
Oh, there were good times for a little while
But now his new friends see I cramp his style
I guess I'm in the way now
He don’t need me hangin’ round
Oh, San Francisco is a lonely town
Now he’s about somewhere
Cross San Francisco bay
He’ll be wondering where I am
When he gets in today
And then he’ll notice all my things are gone
And while he stands there in that room alone
Why this Greyhound keeps on rolling
I pray the Lord he’s found
San Francisco is a lonely town
