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)
