Lyrics

Chorus:
G a d g a d g
Omaha you've been weighing heavy on my mind
A d
I guess I never really left at all
G a d g
I'm turning all those roads I've walked around the other way
A d
And coming back to you,omaha

Verse 1:
G a d g
Omaha,nebraska wasn't good enough for me
A d
I always thought I was the roamin' kind
G a d g
With a pocket full of dreams and my one shirt on my back
A
I left there looking for some things to find

Verse 2:
G a d g
Rode my thumb to san francisco,i worked down by the bay
A d
Got some schoolin' paid for by the law
G a d g
The hardest thing I learned was there ain't no easy way
A
To get ahead behind those county walls

Verse 3:
G a d g
So it's so long california,i reckon' I'll be moving on
A d
I'm leaving even if I had to crawl
G a d g
I got some loose ends around that I left undone
A d
Waiting there for me in omaha

Chorus
