"Ohio" lyrics

I've come a long way from Tarkiln Road
Where the letters on the box read four two O
In Ohio

I didn't smoke, but I drank
Too young to care what anyone would think
In Ohio

I skipped school, when I could
Play my guitar way back in the woods
In Ohio

Start a fire and fill my cup
From the bottle that I had stashed in the mud
Ohio

You shaped me, you made me, just who I am
There's a star on the stage, and they don't know his name but he sounds just like...
Ohio

There's a passion in his eye, and a dream to fly
But he holds on tight
To Ohio

A little place between heaven and hell
It always seemed to suit me well
Early mornings, late nights
Learning how to work, and love, and fight
It's been everything I've ever known
Ohio's my home

You shaped me, you made me, just who I am
There's a star on the stage, and they don't know his name but he sounds just like...
Ohio

There's a passion in his eye, and a dream to fly
But he holds on tight...
To Ohio

It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights

It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights

It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights

It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights

You shaped me, you made me, just who I am
There's a star on the stage, and they don't know his name but he sounds just like...
Ohio

There's a passion in his eye, and a dream to fly
But he holds on tight...
To Ohio
