Weekend City Song: Do you know the way to San Jose? (Burt Bacharach, 1968)

Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross



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
