Lyrics

Ohio

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Well, the road
It overtook me to the point
Where I was blind

My body was weak
But not as much
As my mind
Oh, my mind

I just can't get
Can't get my fill
Of those hills
Oh, but still
No matter where I am
In this land
I feel alone
When I'm not at home

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

So if you
If you see me
Honker down
In your town
I'm just watchin' the clock
On the wall
Til I can go to
The place I love most of all

Radiate
Or just wait to die
Break your back and never
Wonder why
Get me home
Before, before I lose my mind
I need some space to let my
My tape rewind

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh

Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-Whoa, oo-Whoa
Oo-whoa hi-oh
Hi-oh
Oh, oh, oh
