Lyrics

[00:34.60] Hello Ohio
[00:39.53] The back roads
[00:42.52] I know Ohio
[00:47.34] Like the back of my hand
[00:50.33] Alone Ohio
[00:55.05] Where the river bends
[00:59.07] And it's strange to see your story end
[01:06.09] In my life I've seen a thousand dreams
[01:14.53] Through the threshers all torn to pieces
[01:22.25] And the land lay bare
[01:25.21] Someone turned a profit there
[01:29.96] And a good son lost his life in a strip pit
[01:39.39] Hello Ohio
[01:44.09] The back roads
[01:47.06] I know Ohio
[01:51.22] Like the back of my hand
[01:54.70] Alone Ohio
[01:59.33] Where the river bends
[02:03.27] And it's strange to see your story end
[02:10.00] When the sun went down we would all leave town
[02:19.24] And light our fires in Egypt Bottom
[02:25.68] And the reservoir was just as good for Joni
[02:31.26] 'Cause we knew we would
[02:35.72] Dream out loud in the night air
[02:46.76] Holly said, Don't go inside the children's home
[02:53.86] Mary said, Don't leave your man alone
[03:01.62] Valerie was singing to the radio
[03:08.60] Ohio
[03:33.34] It was summertime in '83
[03:37.36] We were burnin' out at the rubber tree
[03:44.75] Wonderin' what in the world would make all this worthwhile
[03:52.32] And if I knew then I was older then
[04:00.89] Would I see regret to the last mile
[04:09.60] Hello Ohio
[04:14.43] The back roads
[04:17.44] I know Ohio
[04:21.89] Like the back of my hand
[04:25.05] Alone Ohio
[04:30.38] Where the river bends
[04:35.67] And it's strange to see your story end
[04:41.17] How I hate to see your story end
[04:46.56] It's so sad to see your story end
