Katmandu

Bob Seger · Ultimate Hits. Rock And Roll Never Forgets [2011]

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 going to do

kkkkkk katmandu

I think it's really where I'm going to

if I ever get out of here

I'm going to Katmandu



I got nothing against the West Coast

You know those 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 nothing 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

if I ever get out of here

that's what I'm gonna do

oh kkkkkkk katmandu

that's really really where I'm going to

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've lived there all my life I've been their guest

I sure have love 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

oh kkkkkkk katmandu

take me baby cause I'm going with you

if I ever get out of here

I'm going to Katmandu

Katmandu - Bob Seger

Bob Seger's 'Katmandu' stands as a defining track from his 1976 album 'Night Moves,' capturing the raw energy of his rock and roll legacy. The song features Seger's signature gritty vocals and driving rhythm, reflecting his ability to blend personal narrative with anthemic power. Released during a period where Seger was solidifying his status as a cornerstone of American rock, the recording showcases his knack for crafting songs that resonate with themes of travel and resilience. While often associated with his broader discography of hits, 'Katmandu' remains a standout example of his mid-70s work, demonstrating the enduring appeal of his songwriting and performance style that continues to influence rock music today.
