Verse 1: 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 Chorus 1: 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                                        {N.C.; organ fills and Weeks turn into years how quick they pass        bass continue} And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas bass (w/bass drum): v   v   v   v ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----3---3---3--- Verse 2: 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 Chorus 2: 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 Break: I’ve got lots of friends in San Jose (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo) Do you know the way to San Jose?

Cette chanson évoque le désir de retourner à San Jose après une longue absence, à la recherche de paix intérieure. L'artiste se rend compte que la célébrité et le succès à Los Angeles peuvent parfois mener à un sentiment d'isolement, où les rêves s'évanouissent. Avec un soupçon de nostalgie, elle se souvient des jours passés dans sa ville natale, exprimant le besoin de renouer avec ses racines et avec des amis de longue date. La simplicité et la beauté de San Jose semblent offrir un refuge face aux tumultes de la vie urbaine.
