Nathan Evans - San Francisco

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I got some money and found myself a car
I headed north towards the boulevard
On my own
And Paul Simon and his friend
Singing something about Mrs. Robinson
On the radio

{Pre-Chorus}
And I'm going north
And I'm going north

{Chorus}
But I won't know where I'm going 'till I get there
I wish I knew you felt the same
Maybe I'll find love in San Francisco
I can hear her calling out my name

{Bridge}
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

{Verse 2}
My jeans are too tight and my hair is too long
You look at me like I'm a vagabond
Well, maybe I am
The sun's going down, the lights come on
I'll keep driving till the day is done
On the 101

{Pre-Chorus}
And I'm going north
And I'm going north

{Chorus}
But I won't know where I'm going 'till I get there
I wish I knew you fеlt the same
And maybe I'll find lovе in San Francisco
I can hear her calling out my name

{Bridge}
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
