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,
back home, back home,
back home...
