Story Behind The Song

Losing someone suddenly - wanting to talk to them one last time -

Lyrics

Omaha

You left your mama cryin' at the door
You knew for certain that you'd never come back no more
Two kids in the back seat, you headed out west
Daddy got a new job & you thought it'd be best
In Omaha

A big new city & a changing life
You still had to get us kids to school on time
And now I'm wonderin' as I make my own home
And try my best raisin' two of my own

In Omaha, what were you like?
You were there with me like I am here with mine
In Omaha, tell me what did you do?
This is a passage

So many questions I want to ask
As so many memories come floodin' back
I guess I'm just tryin' to understand
How that little boy became this man

In Omaha, what was I like?
You were there with me like I am here with mine
In Omaha, tell me what did I do?
This is a passage

I stand here cryin' as you lay before me
I know for certain that I'll never see you no more
Two kids in the backseat - I'm headin back east
Gonna try and give 'em all the love you gave to me

In Omaha, what were we like?
You were there with me like I am here with mine
In Omaha, tell me what did we do?
In Omaha
This is a passage
In Omaha
This is a passage
In Omaha
This is a passage
