Two happy people on a Greyhound bus
We came here looking for a life for us
But the nightlife is her new life and the only thing I've found
Is San Francisco is a lonely town

Oh there were good times for a little while
But now her new friends say I cramp her style
I guess I'm only in the way now she don't need me hanging round
Oh San Francisco is a lonely town

Now she's out there somewhere cross San Francisco Bay
She'll be wondering where I am when she gets in today

She'll find I left her a oneway ticket home
And while she stands there cryin' all alone
And while this Greyhound keeps on rolling I'll pray Lord she's found
San Francisco is a lonely town
