[Intro]

[Chorus]
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 it's really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu

[Verse 1]
I got no kick against the West Coast
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give 'em a toast
I'm sure they know it's true
I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I been there it's been great
But now I'm leavin' and I can't be late
And to myself be true

[Chorus]
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
Hey, if I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
Oh, K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu
Really, really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Kathmandu

[Verse 2]
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 driving hard and paying dues
I figure, baby, I got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue

[Chorus]
Oh, 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
Oh, 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

{Bridge}
Oh, take it away

[Verse 3]
I ain't got nothin' '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 USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway
I know my plane is due

[Chorus]
The one that's 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-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

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh yeah yeah

{Outro}
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.
