Song Lyrics
02 Ohio from 50,000 Buffalo
Ohio
Music and lyrics: Jonathan Panks & John Keller
(c) November 2002
When I was five my daddy passed on
I was too young to know
Why everything changed, mama sold the farm
And we drove as far as we could go
From Ohio, Ohio
I became a man, when I was a boy
That winter never ended
Got a shiny new life out in California
But inside I never mended
From Ohio, away from Ohio
I knew one day, I had to go back
And walk thru that door
To meet the ghost of my childhood lost
And I can't deny it no more
You can't hide from yourself
And you can't run from a runaway past.
That's what the ghost said to me, and it got real still
Memories filled the room
For a moment or so, I was home again
Right here in Ohio, Ohio
Forty years, ago today, I was born in Ohio
Fireflies filled the heartland skies
And the trees grow tall, so tall I know
In Ohio, Ohio, Ohio
Right here in Ohio (3 x outro)
Go Back
