I think I'm going to Katmandu,
That's really, really where I'm going to
If i ever get out of here,
That's what I'm gonna do
K-k-k-k-k-Katmandu,
I think that's where I'm going to
If i ever get out of here,
I'm going to Katmandu

I got no kick against the west coast
Warner brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast,
I'm sure they know it's true
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

That's why I'm going to Katmandu,
Up to the mountains where I'm going to,
And if I ever get out of here that's what I'm gonna do
K - k - k - k - k - Katmandu,
That's really, really where I'm going to,
Oh, if I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu

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
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

That's why I'm going to Katmandu,
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If i ever get out of here that's what I'm gonna do
K - k - k - k - k - Katmandu,
Take me, baby, 'cause I'm going with you
If I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu

I ain't got nothing 'gainst the east coast
You want some people where 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 playing is through

That's why I'm going to Katmandu,
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If i ever get out of here,
That's what I'm gonna do

K-k-k-k-k-Katmandu,
Really, really going to,
If i ever get out of here,
If i ever get out of here,
If i ever get out of here,
I'm going to Katmandu
