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
