 G  A  D  G            A            D           G
        Omaha you've been weighing heavy on my mind

                         A              D
        I guess I never really left at all

             G                 A                  D              G
        I'm turning all those roads I've walked around the other way

                            A      D
        And coming back to you, Omaha
Verse 1:
          G        A             D             G
        Omaha, Nebraska wasn't good enough for me

                            A                D
        I always thought I was the roamin' kind

                G               A            D               G
        With a pocket full of dreams and my one shirt on my back

                                                 A
        I left there looking for some things to find
Verse 2:
                  G               A         D                 G
        Rode my thumb to San Francisco, I worked down by the bay

                              A             D
        Got some schoolin' paid for by the law

              G                A               D             G
        The hardest thing I learned was there ain't no easy way

                                           A
        To get ahead behind those county walls
Verse 3:
                   G         A                 D             G
        So it's so long California, I reckon' I'll be moving on

                      A                D
        I'm leaving even if I had to crawl

               G           A           D            G
        I got some loose ends around that I left undone

                         A         D
        Waiting there for me in Omaha
