rtstuff Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think there is a rock song with the word "Katmandu" in the lyrics. I think it may be a Bob Seger song, but not quite sure. I was talking with some co-workers today about this. Can someone help me out with an answer? Thanks rtstuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Recorded live in Detroit's Cobo Hall, September4th and 5th, 1975, on Seger's "Live Bullet" CD. I think I'm going to Katmandu, that's really, really where I'm going to. If I ever get out of here, that's what I'm gonna do. K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu, I think that's where I'm going to. If I ever get out of here, I'm going to Katmandu. I got no kick against the West coast; Where all my brothers are such good hosts. I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast, I'm sure they know it's true. I got no rap against the Southern states. Every time I've been there it's been great. But now I'm leaving and I can't be late and to myself be true. That's why I'm going to Katmandu, up to the mountains where I'm going to. And if I ever get out of here, that's what I'm gonna do. K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu, that's really, really where I'm going to, oh, if I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu. I got no quarrel with the Midwest, the folks out there have given me their best. I lived there all my life, I've been their guest, I sure have loved it, too. I'm tired of looking at the TV news. I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues. I figure, baby, I've got nothing to lose, I'm tired of being blue. That's why I'm going to Katmandu, up to the mountains where I'm going to. If I ever get out of here, that's what I'm gonna do. K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu, take me, baby, 'cause I'm going with you. If I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu. I ain't got nothing 'gainst the east coast. You want some people where they got the most. And new york city's like a friendly ghost, you seem to pass right through. I know I'm gonna miss the USA. I guess I'll miss it every single day. But no one loves me here anyway. I know my playing is through. That's why I'm going to Katmandu, up to the mountains where I'm going to. If I ever get out of here, that's what I'm gonna do. K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu, really, really going to, if I ever get out of here, if I ever get out of here, if I ever get out of here, I'm going to Katmandu.
