El Camino

Amos Lee · Mission Bell [2011]

Well all my friends treated me so well

You know I'm headed out to that Mission Bell

Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean

Heading down the border road called the El Camino



Well I've been a prince and you know I've been a post

By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows

I believe in all I've loved and all I have seen

Heading down the border road called the El Camino

Heading down the border road called the El Camino



Yeah my hearts grown sick,

I've got a shepherds crook as a walking stick

And I'm heading on.

My hearts gone blue and I've done wrong by you

I don't know what to do

But I'm moving on, said I'm moving on



One and one is two, two and two is four

I'm walking back and forth

On your cracked tiled 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



And all my ships have sailed away

The price of this politic,

That there's plenty of time to prayer

And plenty of time to waste away.



Well to all my friends, that I've loved the most

You know I'm heading out to that other coast

I'm going to wash my soul, and I'm gonna get it clean

Heading down the border road, called the El Camino,

Heading down the border road, called the El Camino.
