Do You Know the Way to San Jose Lyrics

[00:33.00] Do you know the way to San Jose
[00:35.82] I've been away so long
[00:37.53] I may go wrong and lose my way
[00:40.28] Do you know the way to San Jose
[00:42.57] I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
[00:47.85] L.A. is a great big freeway
[00:49.99] Put a hundred down and buy a car
[00:54.83] In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
[00:57.57] Weeks turn into years
[01:00.66] How quick they pass
[01:02.25] And all the stars that never were
[01:04.73] Are parking cars and pumping gas
[01:08.96] You can really breathe in San Jose
[01:11.74] They've got a lot of space
[01:13.30] There'll be a place where I can stay
[01:16.36] I was born and raised in San Jose
[01:18.77] I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
[01:23.41] Fame and fortune is a magnet
[01:27.18] It can pull you far away from home
[01:31.25] With a dream in your heart you're never alone
[01:34.81] Dreams turn into dust and blow away
[01:38.53] And there you are without a friend
[01:41.31] You pack your car and ride away
[01:44.27] I've got lots of friends in San Jose
[01:50.62]
[01:56.49] Do you know the way to San Jose?
[02:03.53]
[03:06.69] L.A. is a great big freeway
[03:09.39] Put a hundred down and buy a car
[03:13.92] In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
[03:18.03] Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
[03:21.48] And all the stars that never were
[03:23.75] Are parking cars and pumping gas
[03:28.00]
[05:04.74] I've got lots of friends in San Jose
[05:12.26]
[05:15.00] Do you know the way to San Jose?
[05:17.19] Can't wait to get back to San Jose
[05:19.52]
