Well then all my friends treated me so well
You know i'm headed out to that mission bell
Gonna wash my soul i'm 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 heart's grown sick
I got a shepherds crook as a walking stick
And i'm heading on

My heart's 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
And 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 leavin' you behind
It really breaks my heart leavin' 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 gonna wash my soul i'm gonna get it clean
Heading down the border road called the el camino
Heading down the border road called the el camino
