Well I went
back to Ohio
But my city was gone..
There was no
train station
There was no downtown..
Sometime it had
disappeared
All my favorite places..
My city had been
pulled down
reduced to open
spaces..
Ay oh
Oh where to go
Ohio..
Oh I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone..
I stood
on the back porch
There was nobody home..
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories..
Sort of swirled past
Like the wind
through the trees..
Ay oh
Oh where to go
Ohio..
I went back to Ohio
But my
pretty countryside..
Had been paved
down the middle
By a government
that had no pride..
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced
by shopping malls..
And muzak filled the air
From Seneca
to Cahoga Falls..
Said ay oh
Oh where to go
Ohio...
