going down south

written by idha övelius

i'm driving down south
driving into the night
going out of the darkness
coming into the light

my friends kept on asking
why are you leaving?
san francisco is fine
where are you going?
san francisco is fine

that's the summer i started to feel so free
i found a love in a beautiful small time town
he said he thought he'd die if he couldn't marry me
but only time could tell what was gonna come round

my friends kept on asking
why are you leaving?
san francisco is fine
where are you going?
san francisco is fine
(san francisco)

he treated me like such a fine lady
and showed me things that i never thought i would see
one year later i gave birth to a lovely baby
inside our house on the coast of the deep blue sea

now no-one is saying
why are you going?
san francisco is fine
but i still remember and keep in my mind

san francisco is fine
(san francisco)

[repeat twice]

(san francisco)

[repeat to fade]
