Lyrics Brett Dennen – San Francisco

Go if you want to go
But I won’t follow
Just so you know
Leave if you want to leave

I’m gonna to move to San Francisco
Look up some old friends
I’m gonna get me a navy pea coat
And an old Mercedes Benz

This old town it keeps shrinking
There’s too many people in my junk
I’m gonna do a lot of drinking
Cause it don’t hurt when I’m drunk

Chorus

I’m gonna rent me an old Victorian
Down in the Lower Haight
I’m gonna get me an old accordion
Play for the tourists on the golden gate
I’m gonna plant a little garden
Paint my bathroom blue
I’m gonna try real hard
To get over you

Here in the city life doesn’t move so slow
There’s plenty of good people I know
Up in north beach they drink spicy Italian liqueur
Down on market there’s a lot of hobos and hustlers

Down in Hayes Valley, there’s a lot of good restaurants
Deep in the tenderloin you can have anything you want
Over in the mission it’s always a sunny day

Chorus

When you come home
