Neil Diamond - Do You Know The Way To San Jose lyrics

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 fortunes a magnet

It can pull you far away from home

With a dream in your heart

you are never alone

Dreams turn into dust and blow away

And there you are without a friend

You pack your car and ride away

I got lots of friends in San Jose

Do you know the way to 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

I got lots of friends in San Jose

Do you know the way to San Jose?

Can't wait to get back home

to San Jose
