Verse 1:
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
Chorus 1:
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 Dm7 G [N.C.; organ fills and Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass bass continue] And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas

Verse 2:
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
Chorus 2:
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
Break:
I've got lots of friends in San Jose (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
Do you know the way to San Jose? (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
