Katmandu

I think I'm going to Kathmandu
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-K-Kathmandu
I think that's really where
I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Kathmandu
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 Kathmandu
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-K-Kathmandu
That's really
Really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Kathmandu
I've 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
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 Kathmandu
Up to the mountain's
Where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-K-Kathmandu
Take me, baby
'Cause I'm going with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Kathmandu
I ain't got nothin' '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 plane is due
The one that's going
To Kathmandu
Up to the mountain's
Where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-K-Kathmandu
Really, 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 Kathmandu
