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)
