Omaha Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(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.

Guess I never really left it all 

I'm turnin' all those roads I walked around the other way 

Coming back to you Omaha.
