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 THIER BEST.
I LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE,
I'VE BEEN THIER GUEST,
I SURE HAVE LOVED IT, TOO.
I'M TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE T.V. 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, 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 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.
(Bob Seger)
