Nields - Nebraska lyrics

rate me

When I was twelve, my mom and I<br />

Left New York for California sky<br />

Dad had gone, it was Mom and me<br />

In our Chevrolet, two-part harmony<br />

The car broke down west of Omaha<br />

We settled down, Mom got a job<br />

<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

Oh, Nebraska<br />

Oh, Nebraska<br />

Oh, Nebraska<br />

Oh, Nebraska<br />

<br />

<br />

Don't feel sorry for me<br />

I fell in love in the usual way<br />

With a flat-eyed boy on his flatbed truck<br />

When the baby was born, he sent a card that said Good Luck<br />

And some flowers; I live with Mom upstairs<br />

And our best friend Kate who never goes anywhere<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

I work the graveyard shift at a restaurant<br />

Somewhere out on 281<br />

A stranger came into the place<br />

And said she saw a sunset in my face<br />

<br />

Chorus
