Back To Ohio
There was a place I used to know
Way back in my youth
Under the shade of a big plum tree
I could find just a little truth
Well the years they came and the years they went
And nothing stayed the same
Every morning the sun came up
Something else had changed
Sometimes at night underneath the stars
I let my worries go
I close my eyes and I go back
Back to Ohio
The first time that I fell in love
Was under that same sky
And when my heart was broken
Those same stars watched me cry
I changed who I was, and where I lived
I changed what I believed
It taught me how to grow up fast
It taught me how to leave
One day I turned my back and packed my things
Headed out down the road
Didn’t know if I’d ever go back
Back to Ohio
I found a new home while I was gone
And sort of settled in
It surprised me just how easily
I put on a new skin
For twelve years now I’ve been away
More changes come and gone
In a way I’d like to stay here
But the pull is just too strong
I don’t know where I’m headed next
But something I do know
Where ever my road leads me I’ll
Pass through Ohio
Because sometimes when I'm headed west
And the stars are all aglow
I look out behind me and
My back's to Ohio
Back to Ohio
