Omaha
Shadows are leading the final ballet
Between the light and the shade
Sending their thoughts to whomever they've lost
Once more 'round the block and they'll be gone
So long, so long Allie May it's all wrong
Now won't you call the dogs off
I bought a one way ticket to Omaha
I'm leaving today
You don't have to ring all the bells you can't reach
But there's things the cage doesn't teach
We're young and we show it
But it's over and I know it
Been having my drinks
But this time I won't blow it
The days are running away like wild horses over the hills
Its a holy mess on the open range - there's no time to kill standing still
The starlings chase the bats straight down the main drag out of hell
Whatever you're looking for - I hope it finds you well
The bugs in the wall drove the cats to the ceiling
The roof has a leak and the landlord's gone missing
I made a couple drinks to go cause I can't tell if I'm old
Tired, or jaded or just living
Between the light and the shade
Sending their thoughts to whomever they've lost
Once more 'round the block and they'll be gone
So long, so long Allie May it's all wrong
Now won't you call the dogs off
I bought a one way ticket to Omaha
I'm leaving today
You don't have to ring all the bells you can't reach
But there's things the cage doesn't teach
We're young and we show it
But it's over and I know it
Been having my drinks
But this time I won't blow it
The days are running away like wild horses over the hills
Its a holy mess on the open range - there's no time to kill standing still
The starlings chase the bats straight down the main drag out of hell
Whatever you're looking for - I hope it finds you well
The bugs in the wall drove the cats to the ceiling
The roof has a leak and the landlord's gone missing
I made a couple drinks to go cause I can't tell if I'm old
Tired, or jaded or just living
