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)
