When I was twelve, my mom and I Left New York for California sky Dad had gone, it was Mom and me In our Chevrolet, two-part harmony The car broke down west of Omaha We settled down, Mom got a job   Chorus Oh, Nebraska Oh, Nebraska Oh, Nebraska Oh, Nebraska   Don't feel sorry for me I fell in love in the usual way With a flat-eyed boy on his flatbed truck When the baby was born, he sent a card that said Good Luck And some flowers; I live with Mom upstairs And our best friend Kate who never goes anywhere  Chorus  I work the graveyard shift at a restaurant Somewhere out on 281 A stranger came into the place And said she saw a sunset in my face  Chorus
