AMOS LEE - El Camino lyrics

rate me

Well to all my friends

That treated me so well

You know I’m headed out

To that mission bell

Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean

Headed down the border road called the El Camino

Well I’ve been *oppressed*

You know I’ve been opposed

By a barb-wired fence

And a murder of crows

I’m leaving all I’ve loved

And all I’ve seen

Headed down the border road called the El Camino

Headed down the border road called the El Camino

Yeah my hearts grown sick

I’ve got a shepherd's crook as a walking stick

And I’m headed on

Yeah my heart's grown blue

I’ve done wrong by you

I don’t know what to do

And I’m moving on

Yeah, I’m moving on

One and one is two

And two and two is four

I'm walking back and forth

On your cracked-tile kitchen floor

With the orange juice

And the sun that shines

It really breaks my heart

Leaving you behind

It really breaks my heart

Leaving you behind

All my ships have sailed away

The price of this politic is

There’s plenty of time to pray

*And* plenty of time to waste away

Well to all my friends

That I’ve loved the most

You know I’m headed out

To that other coast

Gonna wash my soul

Gonna get it clean

Headed down the border road called the El Camino

Headed down the border road called the El Camino
