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 and
she don't need me hanging round
San francisco is a lonely town.

Now she's out there somewhere across the bay
And she'll be wondering where I am when she gets in today
She'll find I've left her a one way ticket home
And while she stands there crying all alone
And while the greyhound keeps on rolling
I'll pray the lord she's found
San francisco is a lonely town.

San francisco is a lonely town...
