   Omaha  you've been  weighing heavy  on my mind
  I guess i never really  left at all
  I'm turning  all those roads  i've walked around  the other way
  And coming back to you,Omaha
  Omaha,Nebraska  wasn't good  enough for me
  I always thought i was  the roamin' kind
  With a pocket  full of dreams  and my one  shirt on my back
  I left there looking for some things to find
  Rode my thumb  to San Francisco,i  worked  down by the bay
  Got some schoolin' paid  for by the law
  The hardest  thing i learned  was there ain't  no easy way
  To get ahead behind those county walls
  So it's so long  California,i  reckon' i'll  be moving on
  I'm leaving even  if i had to crawl
  I got some  loose ends  around that  i left undone
  Waiting there for  me in Omaha
 Chorus.
