Leaving Omaha - The Good Life
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
Omaha
