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)
