El Camino Real

Travelin’ down this highway, Highway 101 
Wishin’ that my lonesome trip was over and done 
Countin’ off those miles, listenin’ to that whine 
Got a California woman on my mind
El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey 
‘Cause I didn't have much luck down in LA 
Well I sang my songs in Monterey and built up quite a name 
Then I went down to LA for fortune and fame
 But no one cared about me there so now I'm comin’ home 
Travelin’ on Highway 101
El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
‘Cause I didn't have much luck down in LA
Well soon I'll be in Monterey and there I'll feel so fine
‘Cause I'll be back there with the girl I left so far behind
I'll stay right there and sing my songs, happy as can be
And if LA wants me they can come to me
 El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
‘Cause I didn't have much luck down in LA
El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
No I didn't have much luck down in LA
Well I didn't have much luck down in LA
No, no, no you know I didn't have much luck down in LA
