I used to love the tenderloin
Until i made some tender coin
And then i met some ladies from marin

We took the highway to the one
Up the coast to catch some sun
That left me with these blisters on my skin

Don`t know what i was on
But i think it grows in oregon
So i kept on goin going on right through

I drove into seattle rain
Fell in love then missed the train
That could have took me right back home to you


Chorus:
I've been high i've been low i've been yes and i've been oh hell no!

I've been rock `n roll and disco
Won`t you save me san francisco?


Every day so captivated(?)
I wish they were golden gated
Fillmore couldn`t feel more miles away

So wrap me up return to sender
Lets forget this five year bender(?)
Take me to my city by the bay!


I never knew all that i had
Now alcatraz don`t sound so bad

At least they have a hella fine below (?)
If i could wish upon a star
I would hitch a cable car

To the place that i can always call my home!

I've been high i've been low

I've been yes and i've been oh hell no!
I been rock `n roll and disco
Won`t you save me san francisco?

I've been up i've been down
I've been so damn lost since you`re not around
I been reggae and calypso

Won`t you save me san francisco?

To tell you the truth

I miss everything everything
It`s a wild wild beautiful world
But there`s a wide eyed girl back there

And she means everything everything

I've been stop

I've been go
I've been yes and i've been oh hell no!
I've been rock and roll and disco

Won`t you save me san francisco?
I've been upi've been down
I've been so damn lost

Since you`re not around
I've been reggae and calypso
Won`t you save me san francisco?
