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 oppressed and you know I've been opposed
 By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows
 I’m leaving 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 pray
 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.
