[Verse 1: Jimmy Smith]
Omaha, you've been weighin' heavy on my mind
Guess I never really left at all
I'm turnin' all those roads I walked around the other way
I'm comin' back to you, Omaha

[Verse 2: Jimmy Smith]
Omaha, Nebraska wasn't good enough for me
I always thought I was the roamin' kind
With a pocket full of dreams and my one shirt on my back
I left there looking for some things to find

[Verse 3: Jimmy Smith]
Rode my thumb to San Francisco, I worked down by the bay
I got some schoolin' paid for by the law
And the hardest thing I learned there was there ain't no easy way
To get ahead behind those county walls

[Verse 4: Jimmy Smith]
So it's So long California, reckon I'll be movin' on
I'm leavin' even if I have to crawl
I've got some loose ends layin' 'round that I left undone
Waitin' there for me in Omaha

[Verse 1: Jimmy Smith]
Omaha, you've been weighin' heavy on my mind
I guess I never really left at all
I'm turnin' all those roads I walked around the other way
I'm coming back to you, Omaha
