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)
