"Anywhere But Ohio" lyrics

I'd compare yah to a rose
But you've got a lot more thorns
I'd compare yah to the moon
But you've got the softer glow
I'd compare yah to a summers day
Oh, those come and go
But you my dear will live forever
In the memory of my soul

Woah, woah, woah, oh

I'd compare yah to mother
Nature and her storms
Cause you're pretty when your angry
And there's lightning in your bones

I'd compare you to some far away
Exotic untouched land
But darling your hand
Is where my hand calls home

I don't give a lick where we go
Pick anywhere but Ohio
And I will follow

I reckon one day we'll decompose
But you my dear will live forever
In the memory of my soul

Woah, woah, woah, oh

I could liken you to movie stars
How their faces all seem marble carved
But yours was surely sewn by god
It's holy and it's pure

I could say you're like an angel
But that's so damn overdone
You're every archetype female figure
Poured all into one

I don't give a lick where we go
Pick anywhere but Ohio
And I will follow

I reckon one day we'll decompose
But you my dear will live forever
In the memory of my soul

Woah, woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh

I'd compare yah to a rose
But you've got a lot more thorns
I'd compare yah to the moon
But you've got the softer glow
I'd compare yah to a summers day
Oh, those come and go
But you my dear will live forever
In the memory of my soul
