Bay Area Player Blues

In Oakland found a lady, she had those rhythm moves In Berkeley met a scholar, she had them ivy grooves In San Jose brought me sunshine, but she had another tune And in the streets of Frisco, heartbreak met me soon Tried them all in the bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea Met a gem in Palo Alto, she had a teacher's flair In the vineyards of Napa, love hung in the air Santa Clara showed me kindness, but she couldn't stay And Fremont had a promise, that faded with the day Tried them all in the Bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea In the heart of Sausalito, she painted skies so blue Concord gave me laughter, yet not a love that's true The lights of San Rafael, they shimmered in her eyes But like the Golden Gate fog, she vanished in the night Tried them all in the Bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea Castro Valley had a rebel, wild and free as wine In Hayward found a sweetheart, but our stars didn't align Redwood City brought the comfort, with her soft, warm embrace But each time I looked closer, I saw another's face Tried them all in the Bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea By the shores of Richmond, her laugh was like a song In Daly City, thought I'd found where I belonged Brisbane held a promise, but it slid right through Pacifica's waves were gentle, but our love was too Tried them all in the bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea In Mill Valley met a dancer, with grace in every spin Fairfax showed me passion, but our rhythm was too thin Lafayette had wisdom, but felt so out of time While Dublin brought me closer, still I walked a lonely line Tried them all in the bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea Tried them all in the bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea Tried them all in the bay, yeah, from Oakland to the sea
