Words and music by Bob Seger


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-K Katmandu.
I think that's really 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 mountain's 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 Katmandu.
That's really, really where I'm going to.
If I ever get out of here,
I'm going to Katmandu.

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 Katmandu.
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 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 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 Katmandu.
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 Katmandu.
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 Katmandu.
