Omaha, will you still call me darling?
Omaha, will I still be your girl?
When I come home from the thrill
Of hunting lions
Mining ruby-throated riches
From the worldI don't know if my cup
Will ever be full
But the moon, I know she will
Hanging over our hearts
So heavy they could break
Like a thundercloud so full up
It could spill
I won't blame you if you stop
I won't hate you if you quit
You gave me your medicine
Made me strong enough to leave you
And I didOmaha, will you still call me darling?
Omaha, will I still be your girl?
If I never bring you back
A single lion
Find the ruby-throated riches
Of the worldSo many miners
In gambling cities
So many miners I've seen
Putting all their money down
And panning for gold
Fools with impossible dreams
No, I won't blame you if you stop
I won't hate you if you quit
You only turned your head
Long enough to leave you
And I did
Again and again
And againAnd if the whole thing
Goes down in flames
We'll burn out bright
And if my whole lif
Is a string of mistakes
You'll be one thing
I got rightOmaha, will you still call me darling?
Omaha, will I still be your girl?
Oh, your clouds they are so full
Of silver linings
You've got the richest skies I've seen
In all the world
