Lyrics for San Francisco
Choking on the thought of leaving Drinking to keep from sobbing 4pm, 4 dollar pints The SFO, the time and price With all my happiness aborted The PA painfully starts boarding I sink deep, 30 thousand feet Into my window seat electric chair And I was drinking you goodbye A heart floats in the bay From sour home Chicago I hear it beating far away And there's no telling what I'll do If I don't return to you Hopeful thoughts of soon returning Can't put out my stomach burning Plastic wings and plastic smiles Unsalted peanuts to stretch my miles Choking on the thought of leaving Drinking to keep from heaving 5 PM 5 dollar pints Hell bound Airlines, time and price And I was drinking you goodbye A heart floats in the bay From sour home Chicago I hear it beating far away And there's no telling what I'll do If I don't return to you I was drinking you goodbye A heart floats in the bay From sour home Chicago I hear it beating far away There's no telling what I'll do If I don't return to you
