Hopped a plane in Frisco, rain was pouring down
Lord, I'm glad to get away from this town
A cold wind chilled me to the bone, but it's not half as bad as there at home
Lord, I'm glad to get away from this town
All she ever wanted was someone to play the clown
Lord, I'm glad that I won't be around
She'll have one less heart to toss about, one less man to be put down
Lord, I'm glad to get away from this town
I've got nothing against San Francisco
And I hope it's got nothing against me
But there's a devil in San Francisco
And that's why I've got to leave
Now, so long Golden Gate, I'm so sorry that I have to say
Lord, I'm glad to get away from this town
I've got nothing against San Francisco
And I hope it's got nothing against me
But there's a devil in San Francisco
And that's why I've got to leave
Now, so long Golden Gate, I'm so sorry that I have to say
Lord, I'm glad to get away from this town
Lord, I'm glad to get away from this town
