West bound far as he could make it, on denial Touched down lookin' for the darkest street on the bay Hoping to start a revolution, a revival A few days in and he can already say San Francisco I've been there before I kicked down the door at those golden gates San Francisco I've been there before So near to the shore but so far away Here we go San Francisco oh Made do working at a hostel through September One room, blanket and a bible, all that he had Some days never saw the sun on, streets so tender And some nights they felt like fights against going mad San Francisco I've been there before I kicked down the door at those golden gates San Francisco I've been there before So near to the shore but so far away Here we go San Francisco oh San Francisco oh Here we go San Francisco oh Far away He says the streets are all the same Music city by the bay Here we go San Francisco I've been there before I kicked down the door at those golden gates San Francisco I've been there before So near to the shore but so far away Here we go San Francisco oh Far away Here we go San Francisco oh Far away
