about

A breakup and a breakdown, not necessarily in that order.

lyrics

Omaha
© 2011 The Squirrel Hillbillies

I found you in the summertime; lost you in the fall
You wanted something better and drove off to Omaha
Wandering those streets alone, wondering who to call
Winter’s not the best time to be lost in Omaha

I could have made a life for you much better than it seemed
My thinking had all leveled out in the early spring
By the time the snow was gone and ice began to thaw
I was wishing you were driving back to me from Omaha

I still send you letters though I know they’ll be returned
Telling you I’m better and not to be concerned
About the way you left me here, how you left me in that place
Someone who looks a lot like you goes by here everyday

Friends who used to know you say you have the life you chose
What I have to give you never wanted, I suppose
Still sometimes I see myself your rescue from it all
But something stops me every time I set out for Omaha
