san francisco is a lonely town

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
