El Camino Lyrics - Mission Bell - Amos Lee

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 

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
