San Francisco
San Francisco
She has the audacity to call this home
The girl, not allowed to cross her Varandah after dark
Who wanted to play with the boys
Who wanted to cross the street alone
Who left her nest and flew away
Who battled sin and swam through hell
She pained and pined
She thrashed and whined
She cried until her eyes permanently glistened
Who lived without a home for too long a time
Has the audacity to make one
And call it so
Right here in San Francisco
