good life - leaving omaha lyrics

Loading...

on stage at the orpheum
waiting for a diploma
lookin’ ’round at my cl-ssmates,
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
