I think I'm goin' to Kathmandu   I think it's really where I'm goin' to   Hey, if I ever get out of here   That what I'm gonna do      K-k-k-k-k-k-Kathmandu   I think it's really where I'm goin' to   Hey, if I ever get out of here   I'm goin' to Kathmandu      I got no kick against the west coast   Where all the brothers are such good hosts   I raise my whiskey glass, give 'em a toast   I'm sure they know it's true      I got no rap against southern states   Every time I 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 goin' to Kathmandu   Really, really, really goin', too   Hey if I ever get out of here   That's what I'm gonna do      Whoa, Kathmandu   Take me with you, 'cause I'm goin' with you   Now, if I ever get out of here   I'm goin' to Kathmandu      I 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 drivin' hard and payin' dues   I figure, baby, I got nothin' to lose   I'm tired of bein' blue      That's why I'm goin' to Kathmandu   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-k-Kathmandu.   Really, really, really goin', too   If I ever get out of here   I'm goin' to Kathmandu      I ain't got nothin' 'gainst the east coast   You want some people, well they got the most   New York City's like a friendly old ghost   You seem to cruise 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 any way   I know my plane is due      The one that's goin' to Kathmandu   Really, really goin', too   Hey, if I ever get out of here   That's what I'm gonna do, gonna do      Kathmandu   Take me with you, 'cause I'm goin' with you   Now, if I ever get out of here   If I ever get out of here   If I ever get out of here   I'm goin' to Kathmandu
