Just about to pack it in 
Lord knows the condition I've been in 
When I got your letter in the mail 

I don't know why 
You picked this time 
To write to me 
But I'm sure glad you did 

Sing me a song so soft and sweet, oh 
Guitar, play me back to Sausalito 

Every morning in New York 
I'd wake up and hear 
Those poor birds talk 
It's enough to bring a body down 

I wasn't ready to settle down 
Plant my roots 
But, Lord, I'm ready now 

Sing me a song so soft and sweet, oh 
Guitar, play me back to Sausalito 
Guitar, play me back to Sausalito 

Just got time to pack my bags 
And say goodbye to disappointment town 
Just got time for one last look around 
Campbell Heights is where I'm bound 
Gonna plant my feet and 
Tack them to the ground 

Sing me a song so soft and sweet, oh 
Guitar, play me back to Sausalito 
Sing me a song so soft and sweet, oh 
Guitar, play me back to Sausalito
