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 [bad word]  
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 [bad word]  

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 u.s.a., 
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.
