Dear Diana, I confess that though Columbia's a mess I swear to God this one last job will get us through I know this isn't what we'd planned but I'm doing all I can A few more weeks and I'll be runnin' back to you But now I'm stuck in Carolina, tryna find my way home But the work is goin' long, I feel it heavy in my bones And I'm just tryna get back to Ohio Yeah, I'm just tryna get back to Ohio My love, the stars here ain't as bright as a clear Ohio night But I still find the ones that I know you can see I'm pullin' strength down from above but it's never quite enough The more I work it seems the less I get to keep But now I'm stuck in Carolina, tryna find my way home But the money don't go far enough how far I gotta go And I'm just tryna get back to Ohio Yeah, I'm just tryna get back to Ohio I left you in the summer Sun when hopes were high and dreams could run But none of this was how it was meant to go And I've been gone for far too long, the best intentions can run wrong And even Carolina's starting to get cold Darling, you told me from the start to never bet against my odds In all this time I've never held a winning hand There's giving up a trying fight and then there's doin' what is right I'm packing up and goin' back to be your man 'Cause I've been stuck in Carolina, tryna find my way home Guess the rails can take me north back to my lover in the snow And I'm just tryna get back to Ohio Yeah, I'm just tryna get back to Ohio Yeah, I'm just tryna get back to Ohio Yeah, I'm just tryna get back to Ohio
