Lyrics
That's my Jenny, such a pretty girl
Said her mama to whole damn world
She brought her home
And watched her grow
Jenny always love the picture show
And Jenny's mama did her very best
To make sure Jenny felt just like the rest
It made no difference how hard she'd try
She couldn't keep the tears from Jenny's eyes
It wasn't easy down in Omaha
Feeling like you're on the wrong side of it all
Hoping that it's just a crazy dream
Waking up to find it's all the same
It wasn't easy down in Omaha
Wishing daily you could leave it all
Take your troubles and just float away.
Head to the city maybe see LA
Jenny's daddy on the radio
Spinnin' records in a late night show
Shared his love for music don't you know
Like the Temptations and the Rolling Stones
Hard to understand why life's so rough
Seems she comes from such a place of love
But when she left the house and went to school
Sometimes the kids don't play the golden rule
Jenny's daddy love her so,
but the bottle had a hold
he couldn't walk away.
It wasn't easy on the road
it wasn't easy back at home,
He saw no other way.
It wasn't easy down in Omaha
Feeling like you're on the wrong side of it all
Hoping that it's just a crazy dream
Waking up to find it's all the same
It wasn't easy down in Omaha
Wishing daily you could leave it all
Take your troubles and just float away.
Head to the city maybe see LA
Look at Jenny when she's on that stage
All her problems seem to melt away
You think your dreaming when you watch her move
With every line she's speaking right to you.
She's just as pretty as her momma says
And they all love her like her daddy did
Looks like Jenny finally found her place
She was born to be up on that stage
It wasn't easy down in Omaha
So she packed her bags and left it all
Went out chasin' for a crazy dream
Wakin' up to find she made the scene
It wasn't easy down in Omaha
So she left one year in early fall
Now her troubles are so far away
Just little troubles in her life today
Jenny's daddy love her so,
But the bottle had a hold
He couldn't walk away.
It wasn't easy on the road
It wasn't easy back at home,
He saw no other way.
He's back in Omaha
