It was a time in my life
I had everything right
I could drive down to the sea
And see who I wanted to be
I made friends, yeah I met people, who told me I was lucky to see all... of this

San Jose yeah you called out my name with your warm summer breeze and your mountain winery
San Jose you're like a second home to me cause when I danced on that stage it was all a possibility
La da da da sing my memories back to me
You'll sing it back to me yeah
La da da da la da da da dah

Back at home, I bought my first guitar
But in Northern California. I bought my 12 string and she plays like a charm

You see every time I go back to the states
I just think of that one place

San Jose yeah you called out my name with your warm summer breeze and your mountain winery
San Jose you're like a second home to me
Cause when I danced on that stage it was all a possibility
La da da da sing my memories back to me
You'll sing it back to me yeah
La da da da la da da da dah

Walking through willow glen makes my heart skip a beat
Like riding the light rail on second street
Home will always be New Zealand
But San Jose gives me that feeling

San Jose
San Jose
San Jose
San Jose yeah you called out my name with your warm summer breeze and your mountain winery
San Jose you're like a second home to me
Cause when I danced on that stage it was a all a possibility
La da da da sing my memories back to me
You'll sing it back to me yeah
La da da da la da da da dah
