San Francisco Is a Lonely Town

(Ben Peters)



Two happy people on a Greyhound bus

We came here looking for a life for us

But the nightlife is her 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 her new friends say I cramp her style

I guess I'm only in the way now she don't need me hanging round

Oh, San Francisco is a lonely town.



Now she's out there somewhere

Cross San Francisco Bay

She'll be wondering where I am

When she gets in today.



She'll find I left her a oneway ticket home

And while she stands there cryin' all alone

And while this Greyhound keeps on rolling I'll pray Lord she's found

San Francisco is a lonely town...
