From Tampa Florida's pride and joy

To California shame

She left home and came out west

And changed her Christian name



She thumbed her way for seven days

And way too many nights

And hit the Streets of San Francisco

Runnin'for her life



A week in cosmetology two weeks in airline school

Seven days of shorthand in a secretarial pool

Now desk clerks and bell hops now know her by her face

And the folks of Tampa know her by her mama's disgrace



All through the day she sits alone and dreams of Tampa High

Wonders what the other kids are doin' then she cries.

Then with the California sun she goes down every night

And hits the Streets of San Francisco walkin' for her life



In her mind she plays a make believe game of her own

She pretends she's window shopping furnishing a home

For a husband who will come along and take her from this life

For now a John will come along and take her for the night



All through the day she sits alone and dreams of Tampa High

Wonders what the other kids are doin' then she cries.

Then with the California sun she goes down every night

And hits the Streets of San Francisco walkin' for her life



She'll walk the Streets of San Francisco the rest of her life
