Lyrics

[Chorus]

I think I'm going to Katmandu

That's really, really where I'm going to

If I ever get outta here

That's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Katmandu

I think that's really where I'm going to

If I ever get outta here

I'm going to Katmandu

[Verse 1]

I got no kick against the West Coast

Warner Brothers are such good hosts

I raise my whiskey glass and give 'em a toast

I'm sure they know it's true

[Verse 2]

I got no rap against the Southern states

Every time I've been there, it's been great

But now I'm leaving and I can't be late

And to myself be true

[Chorus]

That's why I'm going to Katmandu

Up to the mountains where I'm going to

And if I ever get outta here

That's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

Ow! Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Katmandu

Really, really where I'm going to

If I ever get outta here

I'm going to Katmandu

[Verse 3]

I got no quarrel with the Midwest

The folks out there have given me their best

I lived there all my life, I've been their guest

I sure have loved it too

[Verse 4]

I'm tired of looking at the TV news

I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues

I figure, baby, I've got nothing to lose

I'm tired of being blue

[Chorus]

Ow! That's why I'm going to Katmandu

Up to the mountains where I'm going to

If I ever get outta here

That's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

Ow! Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Katmandu

Take me, baby, 'cause I'm going with you

If I ever get outta here

I'm going to Katmandu

[Verse 5]

I ain't got nothing 'gainst the East Coast

You want some people? Well, they got the most

And New York City's like a friendly ghost

You seem to pass right through

[Verse 6]

I know I'm gonna miss the USA

I guess I'll miss it every single day

But no one loves me here anyway

I know my plane is due

[Chorus]

The one that's going to Katmandu

Up to the mountains where I'm going to

If I ever get outta here

That's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Ka- Katmandu

Really, really, really going to

If I ever get outta here

If I ever get outta here

If I ever get outta here

I'm going to Katmandu
