Intro:
on stage at the orphium
waiting for the promo
looking out at my classmates
ready to do something
my bags were packed
i was ready to leave
for university
i was moving up and 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 driving on through the night
and threw up in time early light
sick on caffine pills
my friend he escaped from omaha
i never will
<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
OH, i had a lover once
she was a nomad
would have followed her anywhere
so we moved out to portland
she was selling baggage
i bought all i could
and that's all it took
to make my escape
oh oh oh omaha ohhh
....you never looked so good
i am leaving
i'm sailing away
my time in iowa was just a holidy
i have to get over that bridge
to the town where i live
i guess that's where i'll stay
oh oh oh omaha ohhh
