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 tiired 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, reeally 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
