Lyrics
I think I'm goin' to Katmandu
That's really, really where I'm goin' to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu
I think it's really where I'm goin' to
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Katmandu
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
I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I been there it's been great
But now I'm leavin' and I can't be late
And to myself be true
That's why I'm goin' to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm goin' to
Hey, if I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
Oh, K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu
Really, really where I'm goin' to
Oh, if I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Kathmandu
I got no quarrel with the Midwest
The folks out there have given me their best
I've lived there all my life, I've been their guest
I sure have loved it too
I'm tired of lookin' at the TV news
I'm tired of drivin' hard and payin' dues
I figure, baby, I got nothing to lose
I'm tired of bein' blue
Oh, that's why I'm goin' to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm goin' to
Oh, if I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
Oh, K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu
Take me baby 'cause I'm goin' with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Katmandu
{Bridge}
Oh, take it away
I ain't got nothin' '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
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
The one that's goin' to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm goin' to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu
Really, really, really goin' to
If I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Katmandu
Oh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, yeah yeah
{Outro}
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Woah, woah, oh yeah, yeah
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
