(Verse 1) I set out to wander, a carefree soul, Across this wasteland, my story to unfold. Found myself in Nebraska, by chance or by fate, Where I met a girl, and sealed my state. (Chorus) Oh, in Nebraska, I found my dear, A sweet little thing, with sunshine in her hair. She roped me in, with love's sweet bind, Forever hers, heart and mind. A strange feelin' in my chest, a weight upon my soul, But happier than I've ever known, this love takes control. Oh, in Nebraska, I found my dear, Lost in her love, year after year In these wastelands The wasteland (Verse 2) But I couldn't stay in that paradise found, Had to hit the road, keep movin' around. One thought lingers, in my heart's domain, To find my way back to Nebraska again. The wasteland The wasteland (Chorus) Oh, in Nebraska, I found my dear, A sweet little thing, with sunshine in her hair. She roped me in, with love's sweet bind, Forever hers, heart and mind. A strange feelin' in my chest, a weight upon my soul, But happier than I've ever known, this love takes control. Oh, in Nebraska, I found my dear, Lost in her love, year after year. In these wastelands The wasteland (Verse 3) And I know she's waitin', my sweet and kind, In those Nebraska plains, that girl I left behind. She'll never let go of the love we hold true, Keepin' it safe, in her heart so true. (Chorus) Oh, in Nebraska, I found my dear, A sweet little thing, with sunshine in her hair. She roped me in, with love's sweet bind, Forever hers, heart and mind. A strange feelin' in my chest, a weight upon my soul, But happier than I've ever known, this love takes control. Oh, in Nebraska, I found my dear, Lost in her love, year after year. In these wastelands The wasteland The wasteland The wasteland
