Lyrics El Camino - Amos Lee

El Camino

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 a prince (?)
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
It really breaks my heart
Leaving you behind
All my ships have sailed away
The price of this politic is
That there’s plenty of time to pray
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
