Took a plane to cairo

Then a cessna to rome

I got hijacked to tel aviv

And it's the first time that I've flown

But I've found my shangri-la

In a place that's not too far , back home

Took a train to jordan

And to texas and back

I met lyndon b. johnson and I felt his hand on my back

But I found my shangri-la

In a place that's not too far, back home

Back home, back home,

Back home, back home,

Back home, back home

[Repeat back home and fade]
