I used to love the tenderloin Until I made some tender coin And 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 Don't know what I was on, But I think it grows in Oregon, So I kept on goin' going on right through I drove into Seattle rain Fell in love then missed the train That 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? (Oh, oh, 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'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 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 and 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) save me San Francisco) (Oh, oh, oh) Oh, oh Won't you save me San Francisco (Oh, oh, oh) Oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh) save me San Francisco (Oh, oh, oh) Oh, oh Won't you save me San Francisco
