Boy In Ohio |
Creek was running by the road |
And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin' |
I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive |
When I was a boy in Ohio |
The English teacher he didn’t care |
He challenged us to checkers |
And once in a while we’d swap a joke |
When I was a boy in Ohio |
Once I was caught playing hooky from school |
They found me home in the evening |
I confessed I had been to the movie show |
When I was a boy in Ohio |
We would wait for the summer to come |
For swimmin' and pickin' berries |
But now a freeway covers the field |
Where I used to be so happy |
I remember the Burger Boy |
Where the girls would shine like the engines |
And the radio was always loud |
When I was a boy in Ohio |
Spanish teacher she tried to help |
She was much too pretty |
So I just stared at the back of her legs |
When I was a boy in Ohio |
It was 3.2 beer* at the honky tonk bar |
Where they said the girls were easy |
But somehow I never found me one |
When I was a boy in Ohio |
Soon I was grown and I had to leave |
And I’ve been all over the country |
But I don’t believe I’ve had more fun |
Than when I was a boy in Ohio |
