Good Life - Leaving Omaha Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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
