"West Of Ohio" lyrics

Giving up easy
Calling it quits
A feeling, oh, I know
It is what it is, yeah
It is what it is

West of Ohio
Somewhere only we know
Planted trees down the trail in the ground that night
Do you remember what it was like?

I said, "Baby, won't you come along?"
Don't wanna leave you alone
I'll find somewhere along the way to keep us out of the cold
It's out of nowhere, I know it ain't fair
And no, I don't expect you to go
So if you need me, know that I'll be driving down to Mexico
If you need me on a dime, I'm south, down in Mexico

Coming down southbound
There's a feeling on the air now
Honey, don't worry about me
I'm feeling just right now
Come on, don't wallow
Ain't easy on the windy road
Yeah, I'm needing my bed, it's a long night ahead
And I'm driving like I'm driving to you

I told you that if I ever leave, I would let you know
And now I've done left, the hardest part was letting you go
As I bid you farewell, I'm stopping myself
From falling, from falling apart
As I make way to the keys of my heart down in Mexico
Oh, I'm finding the keys to my heart down in Mexico
Am I stopping us from falling apart?
Oh, hell, if I know
But I'm finding the keys to my heart down in Mexico

West of Ohio
Darlin', when the trees grow
One day, I hope and I pray that you know
I am gonna find my way home
