Wake Me Up In San Francisco

Wake me up in San Francisco that's the place where I belong
Open my eyes and let's start talking we'll preach to the choir before dawn

Driving in over the Bay Bridge, up route five from Los Angeles
Down 101 to the Golden Gate, into SFO on a big jet plane
Feeling safe now that I'm home, feeling safe now that I'm home

Wake me up in San Francisco that's the place where I belong
Open my eyes and let's start talking we'll preach to the choir before dawn

When the fog rolls in over the ocean we'll catch a cab to a North Beach bar
Crawl our way back to the Mission, to the kitchen table to discuss it all
One more night to work our way toward god, one more night to work our way toward god

Wake me up in San Francisco that's the place where I belong

Open my eyes and let's start talking we'll preach to the choir before dawn
Wake me up in San Francisco that's the place where I belong
Open my eyes and let's start talking we'll preach to the choir before dawn
Going home, going home, everywhere is my home
But those steep hills will roll me, roll me around

Wake me up in San Francisco that's the place where I belong
Open my eyes and let's start talking we'll preach to the choir before dawn
Wake me up in San Francisco that's the place where I belong
Open my eyes and let's start talking we'll preach to the choir before dawn
Wake me up In San Francisco Wake me up in San Francisco
