Chorus: GADGADG Omaha you've been weighing heavy on my mind AD I guess i never really left at all GADG I'm turning all those roads i've walked around the other way AD And coming back to you,Omaha
Verse 1: GADG Omaha,Nebraska wasn't good enough for me AD I always thought i was the roamin' kind GADG 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: GADG Rode my thumb to San Francisco,i worked down by the bay AD Got some schoolin' paid for by the law GADG The hardest thing i learned was there ain't no easy way A To get ahead behind those county walls
Verse 3: GADG So it's so long California,i reckon' i'll be moving on AD I'm leaving even if i had to crawl GADG I got some loose ends around that i left undone AD Waiting there for me in Omaha
