It saved me, it did

July 17, 2010

It’s a beautiful, hot sunny day. We’ve celebrated our first anniversary and our 38th.

M. has had a great report from his cardiologist. My birthday’s next week. We’ve just booked a fabulous bunch of trips.

I’ve looked at an exceptional home in my favorite town that we may or may not make an offer on tomorrow. The thing is, it’ll be our choice.

We’re getting ready to go out to dinner at my favorite restaurant in the world.

The San Francisco Bay area is our home and I couldn’t be happier that it is and with our life. And today, on the way back from working out, I heard my song. It’s a rockin’ good song and it says it all.

Save Me San Francisco by Train with Lyric below the video. Have a great Friday night, everyone!

I used to love the tenderloin
until I made some tender coin
and then I met some ladies from Marin
We Took the Highway to the One,
up the coast to catch some sun
that left me with these blisters on my skin
don’t know what I was on,
but I think it grows in Oregon,
so I kept on goin going on right through
I drove into Seattle Rain
fell in love then missed the train
that could have took me right back home to you

CHORUS:
I’ve been high, I’ve been low, I’ve been yes and I’ve been oh hell no!
I’ve been rock ‘n roll and disco,
won’t you save me San Francisco?

Every day so caffienated
I wish they were Golden Gated
Fillmore couldn’t feel more miles away
So wrap me up return to sender
lets forget this five year bender
Take me to my city by the bay!

I never knew all that i had,
now Alcatraz don’t sound so bad
at least they have a hella fine below (?)
If I could wish upon a star
I would hitch a cable car
to the place that I can always call my own!

I’ve been high I’ve been low,
I’ve been yes and I’ve been oh, hell no!
I been rock ‘n roll and disco,
won’t you save me San Francisco?
I’ve been up, I’ve been down,
I’ve been so damn lost since you’re not around,
I been reggae and calypso
won’t you save me San Francisco?

To tell you the truth
I miss everything, everything
It’s a wild, wild beautiful world
but there’s a wide eyed girl back there
and she means everything, everything,

I’ve been stop
I’ve been go
I’ve been yes and I’ve been oh, hell no!
I’ve been rock and roll and disco,
won’t you save me San Francisco?
I’ve been up,I’ve been down,
I’ve been so damn lost
since you’re not around,
I’ve been reggae and calypso,
won’t you save me San Francisco?
