SAN FRANCISCO IS A LONELY TOWN
(Ben Peters)


Eddy Arnold - 1969
Charlie Rich - 1969
Glen Campbell - 1976





Two happy people on a Greyhound bus
We came here lookin' 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've been 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 
And she don't need me hangin' round
San Francisco is a lonely town

Now she's out there somewhere across the Bay
And she'll be wondering where I am when she gets in today

She'll find I've left her a one-way ticket home
And while she stands there cryin' all alone
And while the Greyhound keeps on rollin' 
I'll pray the Lord she's found
San Francisco is a lonely town
San Francisco is a lonely town
