Nebraska 28: John Stewart - Omaha Rainbow [from California Bloodlines album]
Lyrics about Omaha often seem to be reflections from afar, or ruminations on leaving.....
Keeping my eyes on the Omaha rainbow
Making the rain go out of my way
Keeping my eyes on the Omaha Rainbow
Going down the same roads as my younger days
And I remember the name, Ernesto Juarez
Wherever the man says, we got to go
There's going to be a change, Ernesto Juarez
But it's a long way to August, I got a lot of roads to go
Yeah, and even if I go out to California
I've got to warn you what I'm going to say
Yeah, and even if I go out to California
It's a long way to August, picking up friends along the way
So keep your eyes on that far distant star
And the sun's gonna to shine where you are
Oh, keep your eyes on that far distant star
And the sun's gonna to shine where you are
Keeping my eyes on the Omaha rainbow
Making the rain go out of my way
Keeping my eyes on the Omaha Rainbow
Going down the same roads as my younger days
