San Francisco - Brett Dennen

Go if you want to go

But I won’t follow, just so you know

Be if you want to leave

But I won’t be here when you come home

I’m gonna move to San Francisco

Look up some old friends

I’m gonna get me a Navy P-coat

And an old Mercedes Benz

This old town keeps shrinking

There’s too many people in my junk

I’m gonna do a lot of drinking

Cuz it don’t hurt when I’m drunk

Go if you want to go

But I won’t follow, just so you know

Be if you want to leave

But I won’t be here when you come home

I’m gonna rent me an old Victorian

Down in the Lower Haight

I’m gonna get me an old accordion

And 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 it don’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

And it’s a real good baseball town, but my team is across the Bay

Go if you want to go

But I won’t follow, just so you know

Be if you want to be

But I won’t be here when you come home

When you come home
