I used to love the tenderloin
<br />until I made some tender coin
<br />and then I met some ladies from Marin
<br />We Took the Highway to the one,
<br />up the coast to catch some sun
<br />that left me with these blisters on my skin
<br />don’t know what I was on,
<br />but I think it grows in Oregon,
<br />so I kept on goin going on right through
<br />I drove into Seattle Rain
<br />fell in love then missed the train
<br />that could have took me right back home to you
<br />
<br />CHORUS:
<br />I've been high, I've been low, I've been yes and I've been oh hell no!
<br />I've been rock ‘n roll and disco,
<br />won’t you save me san francisco?
<br />
<br />Every day so caffienated
<br />I wish they were Golden Gated
<br />Fillmore couldn’t feel more miles away
<br />So wrap me up return to sender
<br />lets forget this five year bender
<br />Take me to my city by the bay!
<br />
<br />I never knew all that i had,
<br />now Alcatraz don’t sound so bad
<br />at least they have a hella fine below (?)
<br />If I could wish upon a star
<br />I would hitch a cable car
<br />to the place that I can always call my own!
<br />
<br />I've been high I've been low,
<br />I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no!
<br />I been rock ‘n roll and disco,
<br />won’t you save me San Francisco?
<br />I've been up, I've been down,
<br />I've been so damn lost since you’re not around,
<br />I been reggae and calypso
<br />won’t you save me San Francisco?
<br />
<br />To tell you the truth
<br />I miss everything, everything
<br />It’s a wild, wild beautiful world
<br />but there’s a wide eyed girl back there
<br />and she means everything, everything,
<br />
<br />I've been stop
<br />I've been go
<br />I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no!
<br />I've been rock and roll and disco,
<br />won’t you save me San Francisco?
<br />I've been up,I've been down,
<br />I've been so damn lost
<br />since you’re not around,
<br />I've been reggae and calypso,
<br />won’t you save me San Francisco?<br /><br />
