OMAHA

They said a young lady

Came here from Omaha

She bought old Bill's homestead

A cabin of mud and logs

It sits on eighty acres

Of gorgeous mountain land

Made me sad to think it had

Fallen into the wrong hands

I had to see for myself

Decided to take a hike

Up to that old cabin

To see what she was like

I got to where the road ends

From there I went on foot

Nature clean and perfect

Any way I chose to look

There was a vision

Sitting on the steps

Of that run down cabin

That I will not forget

~~~*Chorus*~~~

She swept me right off my feet

Mesmerized

I could feel the heat

Seeping in, and sinking deep

I swear I felt it burning in my bones

I wanted this enchantress for my own

It was primal, hot, and raw

I locked eyes with Omaha

She came to me like a river when it falls

And shatters on the rocks

As it collides

No boundaries confined

Defying every law

Omaha

~~*~~

Holding hands in the high grass

Soaking up the here and now

We walked into the cabin

That seemed like a mansion now

For twenty years I have breathed

Turned every girl away

Just one look from Omaha

Is all it took to stay

~~~*Chorus*~~~

She swept me right off my feet

Mesmerized

I could feel the heat

Seeping in, and sinking deep

I swear I felt it burning in my bones

I wanted this enchantress for my own

It was primal, hot, and raw

I locked eyes with Omaha

She came to me like a river when it falls

And shatters on the rocks

As it collides

No boundaries confined

Defying every law

Omaha

~~*~~

I guess that I went missing

Got a visit from the law

He said I understand boy

Once he saw Omaha

My friends and family met me

Monday morning, on the job

I said for years it was yours

Now my heart is Omahas

Everyone was hollering

My Mama just shoved them back

Said come home when you can Son

And bring your other half

Mamas know their baby boys

Every quality and flaw

She saw a new light burning

And knew it was Omaha

~~~*Chorus*~~~

She swept me right off my feet

Mesmerized

I could feel the heat

Seeping in, and sinking deep

I swear I felt it burning in my bones

I wanted this enchantress for my own

It was primal, hot, and raw

I locked eyes with Omaha

She came to me like a river when it falls

And shatters on the rocks

As it collides

No boundaries confined

Defying every law

Omaha
