Re: I WENT BACK TO OHIO!

BUT MY CITY WAS GONE!
THERE WAS NO TRAIN STATION
THERE WAS NO DOWNTOWN
SOUTH HOWARD HAD DISAPPEARED
ALL MY FAVORITE PLACES
MY CITY HAD BEEN PULLED DOWN
REDUCED TO PARKING SPACES
AY, OH, WAY TO GO OHIO!
 
WELL 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
SLOWLY SWIRLED PAST
LIKE THE WIND THROUGH THE TREES!
AY, OH, OH WAY 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HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS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 CUYAHOGA FALLS!
SAID, AY, OH, OH WAY TO GO OHIO!
