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
A, O, 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
A, O, 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HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS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, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO
YOU WENT BACK TO OHIO
TO ANSWER BIN LADEN's THREAT,
STAND IN THE GAP FOR AMERICA,
AND HONOR OUR FALLEN HEROS
WHOSE LIVES THE TERRORISTS STOLE
AND THE LIBERALS SOLD FOR COINS
AND TREASON FILLED THE AIR
FROM MICHAEL MOORE TO BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO
Pisses me off that my McIntosh C42 preamp is in the shop and I can't blast 'My City Was Gone' with the McIntosh MC352 and Klipsch speakers. Proudly made in Binghamton, NY and Hope, Arkansas respectively.
