Back in Ohio

[Verse 1]

On the open ocean

Sailing down to Cuba

Guns are in the galley

Someone's gotta shoot 'em

[Chorus]

Away-away, oh

Destiny awaits

Sailing to redemption

But they'll miss you

Back home in Ohio

Back in Ohio

[Verse 2]

You threw knives in the circus

Now you're fighting in the jungle

You've got babies in Miami

A rebel for a lover

[Chorus]

Away-away, oh

Destiny awaits

Sailing to redemption

But they'll miss you

Back home in Ohio

Back in Ohio

[Bridge]

Looking down the barrel's

Of twenty loaded guns

All the letters written

All the fighting's been done

A man without a country

Ain't getting out alive

They never collected the bounty

You're still left to pay the price

[Chorus]

Away-away, oh

Destiny awaits

Sailing to redemption

But they'll miss you

Back home in—

Away-away, oh

Your destiny awaits

You're sailing to redemption

But they'll miss you

Back home in Ohio

Back in Ohio

Back in Ohio

Back in Ohio
