Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’ve been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way.

Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’m going back to find
some peace of mind in San Jose.

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 Jose.
They’ve got a lot of space,
there’ll be a place where I can stay.

I was born and raised in San Jose
I’m going back to find
some peace of mind in San Jose.

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.
