Good Life - Leaving Omaha Lyrics
On Stage at the Orpheumwaiting for a diplomaLookin' '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 lastOne night I was drinking alone,so I drove out to Denverto visit an old friendwho had settled down there.I kept on driving all through the nightand 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 bridgeto the town were I live-I guess that's where I'll stay.Omaha
