Verse 2:
You can really breathe in San Jose.
They've got a lot of space, there'll be a place where I can stay.
I was born and raised in San Jose.
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.
Fame and fortune is a magnet, it can pull you far away from home.
With a dream in your heart you're never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away. And there you are without a friend.
You pack your car and ride away.
