EL CAMINO REAL
(Lee Dresser)
LEE DRESSER (AMOS AJB 118)

Travelling down this highway, Highway 101
Wishing that my lonesome trip was over and done
Counting off those miles, listening to that whine
I Got a California woman on my mind

El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.

Well, I sang my songs in Montery
And build up quite a name
Then I went down to L.A.
For fortune and fame
But no one cared about me there
So, now I'm coming home
Travelling north on Highway 101

El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.

Well, soon I'll be in Monterey
And then I'll feel so fine
'Cause I'll be back with the girl
That I left so far behind
I'll stay right there and sing my songs
Happy as can be
And if L.A. wants, they can come to me

El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.

El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
Well, I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
No no no, you know I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
