Sister Nebraska

And in the midst of the explosion comin' down
 You sit barefoot on your porch
 And all the times you'd say we'd be sorry now
 But I'm not sorry now, I'm not sorry now
 You were talkin' 'bout the cornfields passin' by
 Out the window of the bus
 And all the times you swore that you'd get back there somehow
 That's just talkin' loud, never thought I'd be here now
 So hey there, sister Nebraska
 Sittin' there, sweetly pigeon-toed
 It's been a long cold winter
 Now I'm comin' home
 California's just a memory I've left behind
 Colorado come and gone
 The setting sun paints the rear-view mirror red
 As we start headin' south
 It'll be any day now
 Mountains fall away to leave us on the plains
 As we relax into the ride
 And all those unpaid bills, well, I left them all behind
 'Cause I'm not turnin' back
 All my bags are packed
 Hey there, sister Nebraska
 Sittin' there, sweetly pigeon-toed
 It's been a long cold winter
 Now I'm comin' home
 This is gone and we've returned to what we left
 Turned to pictures packed away
 And I will call you up and say:
 "Ain't this life a riot?"
 And you will understand
 And you will understand
 Hey there, sister Nebraska
 Sittin' there, sweetly pigeon-toed
 It's been a long cold winter
 Now I'm comin' home
 Now I'm comin' home
