Do you know the way to San José? I’ve been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way. Do you know the way to San José? I’m going back to find Some peace of mind in San José.
L.A. is a great big freeway, Put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two They’ll make you a star. Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass. And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas.
You can really breathe in San José, They’ve got a lot of space. There’ll be a place where I can stay. I was born and raised in San José. I’m going back to find Some peace of mind in San José.
[Chorus:] Fame and fortune is a magnet, It can pull you far away from home. With a dream in your heart you’re never alone. Dreams turn into dust and blow away, And there you are without a friend. You pack your car and ride away. I’ve got lots of friends in San José Do you know the way to San José?
