Omaha

Omaha you've been weighin' heavy on my mind

Guess I never really left it all

I'm turnin' all those roads I walked around the other way

Coming back to you Omaha.

Omaha, Nebraska was that good enough for me

Always thought I was the roamin' kind

With the pockets full of dreams in my worn shirt on my back

I left there looking for some things to find.

Rode my thumb to San Francisco I worked down by the bank

Got some schoolin' faithful by the law

The hardest thing I learned there was there ain't no easy way

To get ahead behind those county walls.

So it's so long California reckon I'll be a movin' on

I'm leavin' even if I had to crawl

I've got some losin's laying round

That I left them burn waitin' there for me in Omaha.

Omaha you've been weighin' heavy on my mind

Guess I never really left it all

I'm turnin' all those roads I walked around the other way

Coming back to you Omaha.
