Ohio lyrics

Well, I'm makin' my way up the coast
To see the one I love the most
It's a short day in September when I go
And I wonder if he's still the same
Like the way his mouth fits around my name
I guess there's only one sure way to know

So you can have your California,
New York's nice but I can't stay
Send my love to Carolina
But it's just too far away
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio

I was tired of that same-old-same
So I chased down my fifteen of fame
And I kissed goodbye the boy that I called home
Then I changed in ways I can't express
I forgot that boy I love the best
Is keepin' from feeling so alone

So you can have your California,
New York's nice but I can't stay
Send my love to Carolina
But it's just too far away
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio

So I pick up that rock and swipe it clean
Now I'm only sayin' what I mean
And I'm telling him I'm sorry for my loss
And the moment that I see his face
I'll know if this is still my place
Or if I've been away for far too long

So you can have your California,
New York's nice but I won't stay
Send my love to Carolina
But she's just too far away
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio

I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio
