So unsheathed the sun, so cluttered my heart So heavy the air, on the 4th of July So hard to know, the right time to leave So hard to know, if I was meant to be free Ohio, Oh my Oh My oh my, My oh my My oh my, Ohio Midwestern jungle, sea of green The highest river bluffs, that I'd ever seen Cool Rush of the water, Silent bridge overhead Pale skin, yellow eyes, knives, ropes, guns Closing in; Ohio, I waited for night to fall My oh my, My oh my My Oh my Ohio Out of the water away from the moonlight Willing my legs up those steps Towards to that lantern's light Ohio don't let me go, Ohio don't let me go Ohio don't let me go, Please let me stay Don't let me go My oh my, My oh my My Oh my, Ohio, Ohio
