Winter's been real long this year

I know, cause I've been there

Summer never seemed to come along

and when it did, it felt all wrong

You've been sitting on the sidewalks wondering what went wrong with your life

You've been walking to your bedside table and in the top drawer was a knife



Time to take your sweetheart by the hand and lead him to the Promised Land

The only place in North America not destroyed by the government

San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back



I have news for you my friend:

I'm sticking by you until the end

Doctor's ordering you the same prescription, see, that worked wonders for me

I sat by myself in bars, I was driven home in state-owned cars

I was filled with so much hate until I saw the Golden Gate



Until my sweetheart took me by the hand and led me to the Promised Land

The only place in North America not yet destroyed by the government

San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back

San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back



San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back



San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back



San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back



San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back



San Francisco! You're going

San Francisco! We're going

Don't you know you'll never ever want to turn back



And it's time to call in sick and pack your bags and bring the toothbrush

Withdraw from that savings account what's savings for, time doesn't wait and

Hold the door, I'm coming, all that jazz

like I'm released from Alcatraz
