written by Billy Joe Shaver and Hillman Hall
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Chorus:
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
Chorus.
