My City Was Gone |
| 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, 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| Had been replaced by shopping malls |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, way to go, Ohio |
