San Francisco Lyrics

San Francisco lyrics

Choking on the thought of leaving
Drinking to keep from sobbing 
4pm, 4 dollar pints - 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 
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 stretch my miles 

Choking on the thought of leaving 
Drinking to keep from heaving 
5pm, 5 dollar pints - Hellbound 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 
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
