Omaha

Counting crows

Omaha

Start tearing the old man down

Run past the heather and down to the old road

Start turning the grain into the ground

Roll a new leaf over

In the middle of the night theres an old man

Treading around in the gathered rain

Hey mister if you want to walk on water

Would you drop a line my way

Omaha

Somewhere in middle america

Get right to the heart of matters

Its the heart that matters more

I think youd better turn your ticket in

And leave your money right at the door

Start threading the needle

Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room

Start turning the wool across the wire

Roll the new life over

In the middle of the night theres an old man

Threading his toes through a bucket of rain

Hey mister if you want to walk on water

Youre only going to walk all over me

Omaha

Somewhere in middle america

Get right to the heart of matters

Its the heart that matters more

I think youd better turn your ticket in

And leave your money right at the door

Start running the banner down

Drop past the color come up through the summer rain

Start turning the girl into the ground

Roll a new life over

In the middle of the day theres a young man

Rolling around in the earth and rain

Hey mister if youre going to walk on water you know youre only going to walk all over me

Omaha

Somewhere in middle america

Get right to the heart of matters

Its the heart that matters more

I think youd better turn your ticket in

And leave your money right at the door
