Waylon Jennings — Omaha

[Chorus:] 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, wasn't good enough for me Always thought I was the roamin' kind With a pocket full of dreams and my one shirt on my back I left there looking for some things to find Rode my thumb to San Francisco I worked down by the Bay Got some schoolin' paid for 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," I reckon I'll be a movin' on I'm leavin' even if I had to crawl I've got some loose ends laying round That I left undone Waitin' there for me in Omaha [Chorus]
