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.
