Omaha

Lyrics for Omaha

(Billy Joe Shaver - Hillman Hall) 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. --- Instrumental to fade ---
