El Camino Real
Journey Home on El Camino Real: A Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Travelling down this highway, Highway 101
Expressing the act of traveling on Highway 101.
Wishing that my lonesome trip was over and done
Wishing for the end of a solitary journey.
Counting off those miles, listening to that whine
Counting miles while hearing a persistent sound.
I Got a California woman on my mind
Having thoughts about a woman in California.
El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
Desiring to return home via El Camino Real to Monterey.
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
Expressing lack of success in Los Angeles.
Well, I sang my songs in Montery
Having sung songs in Monterey and gained recognition.
And build up quite a name
Building a reputation through performances.
Then I went down to L.A.
Traveled to Los Angeles seeking fortune and fame.
For fortune and fame
Experiencing indifference and lack of attention in L.A.
But no one cared about me there
Expressing disappointment at not being appreciated in L.A.
So, now I'm coming home
Deciding to return home due to the lack of success.
Travelling north on Highway 101
Heading north on Highway 101.
El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
Expressing the desire to return home to Monterey via El Camino Real.
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
Reiterating the lack of success in Los Angeles.
Well, soon I'll be in Monterey
Anticipating feeling good upon reaching Monterey.
And then I'll feel so fine
Expecting to be happy when back in Monterey.
'Cause I'll be back with the girl
Looking forward to reuniting with a girl left behind.
That I left so far behind
Emphasizing the distance from the girl in L.A.
I'll stay right there and sing my songs
Planning to stay in Monterey and continue singing songs.
Happy as can be
Expressing happiness and contentment in Monterey.
And if L.A. wants, they can come to me
Open to welcoming L.A. to come to Monterey.
El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
Reiterating the desire for El Camino Real to take the singer home to Monterey.
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
Reiterating the lack of success in Los Angeles.
El Camino Real take me home, back to Monterey
Expressing the desire for El Camino Real to lead back to Monterey.
'Cause I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
Reiterating the lack of success in Los Angeles.
Well, I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
Emphasizing the singer's lack of luck in L.A.
No no no, you know I didn't have much luck down in L.A.
Reiterating the singer's lack of luck in Los Angeles.
