The Good Life - Leaving Omaha songtekst
Je score:
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
