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)
