Leaving Omaha |
| On Stage at the Orpheum |
| Waiting for a diploma |
| Lookin' 'round at my classmates |
| Ready to disown them |
| My bags were packed, I was ready to leave |
| For University- |
| I was moving up and out- |
| Out of Omaha… |
| It didn’t last |
| One night I was drinking alone |
| So I drove out to Denver |
| To visit an old friend |
| Who had settled down there |
| I kept on driving all through the night |
| And threw up at dawn’s early light- |
| Sick on caffeine pills |
| My friend, he escaped from Omaha… |
| I never will |
| I had a lover once |
| She was a nomad |
| I would’ve followed her anywhere |
| So we moved out to Portland |
| She was selling baggage- |
| I bought all I could- |
| And that was all it took to make my escape |
| Oh Omaha |
| You never looked so good |
| I am leaving |
| I’m sailing away |
| My time in Iowa was just a holiday |
| I’ve gotta get back over that bridge |
| To the town were I live- |
| I guess that’s where I’ll stay |
| Omaha |
