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
Ay, oh, 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
Ay, 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Had been replaced by shopping malls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, ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
