William Brown Songtext
von Randy Newman

William Brown, the tobacco man
Left North Carolina when he sold his land
Took a train to Omaha
Stayed there with some friends he had


And he didn′t mind the dust
And he didn't mind the wind
And he didn′t mind the cold
And he didn't miss home

He liked the people and he liked the town
So he built himself a house beside the river
And he sent for his children and he sent for his cars
And he bought a little business that would run itself

And he didn't mind the dust
And he didn′t mind the wind
And he didn′t mind the cold
And he never missed home
