He sent it to his record company but it was never produced.

I love LA and New York's fine
But I've got San Francisco on my mind.
Though I wasn't born there
It's the closest thing to home that I can find.

If the good Lord's willin' and the devil don't care
It won't be long 'til you will find me there.

Walking in the streets of sunny San Francisco without a single care
I'd like to fly there in a jet
But if I have to walk I'll get there yet

There ain't nothing mortal that can make me change my mind you can bet
If my feet don't fail me and I my thumb will pay the fare
Won't be long 'til you will find me there.

Walkin' in the streets of sunny San Francisco without a single care
San Francisco, I'll soon be comin' home
San Francisco, I've been away too long
San Francisco, I've just gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go back to San Francisco.

If you run low on money there
There's always someone more than glad to share
Livin' there is easy you can be yourself and no one's gonna care
If you want to see heaven don't look up there
Just come along and you will find it here

Walkin’ in the streets of sunny San Francisco without a single care
