Lyrics Dionne Warwick

Dionne Warwick

Do You Know the Way to San Jose

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 goin’ back to find

Some peace of mind in San Jose

LA 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 parkin’ cars and pumpin’ 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 goin’ 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

Do you know the way to San Jose

Oh, LA 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 parkin’ cars and pumpin’ gas

I’ve got lots of friends in San Jose, oh...oh...

Do you know the way to San Jose, mmm...mmm...

Can’t wait to get back to San Jose
