Ohio

70 West at 7 AM
On a winding road again
A cardinal singing me a goodbye song
Why does it feel like I am doing something wrong?
Out on the wind but I’ll get there soon
Outside Chicago by the afternoon
Stop to get a coffee 3 times a day
Why do I feel close to you and so far away?

Ohio, please forgive this boy for running
Blame the spell that I fell under
Called the California Sun
Ohio, please forgive this boy for leaving
Though you probably don’t believe me

But I regret the things I said when I was young
I can see the shimmer of the ocean blue
You gotta get real high to get this view
And I remember living on flat land
Craving peaks and valleys, she just couldn’t understand

Ohio, please forgive this boy for dreaming
Every man must search for meaning
For adventure and for fun
Ohio, can my exit be a lesson?
Cause now my tongue’s confessing
I regret the things I said when I was young

Is that such a crime?
Is it such a crime?
I fell in love with life
Is that such a crime?
I fell in love with life
I fell in love with life
Is that such a crime?
I fell in love with life
Is that such a crime?
Is that such a crime? I fell in love!
