Do you know the way to San Jose?
Sung by Neil Diamond

Lyrics

Sing along to learn how to ask the way:-

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
Got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
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.

I've got lots of friends in San Jose.
So, do you know the way to San Jose?

L.A. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down, you buy a car.
And 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've 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.
