Boy in Ohio

[Verse 1]
Creek was running by the road
And the Buckeye sun was shinin'
I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive
When I was a boy in Ohio
The English teacher he didn't care
He challenged us to checkers
And once in a while we'd swap a joke
When I was a boy in Ohio

[Verse 2]
Once I was caught playing hooky from school
They found me home in the evening
I confessed I'd been to the movie show
When I was a boy in Ohio
We would wait for the summer to come
For swimmin' and pickin' berries
But now a freeway covers the field
Where I used to be so happy

[Verse 3]
I remember the Burger Boy
Where the girls would shine like the engines
And the radio, it was always loud
When I was a boy in Ohio
The Spanish teacher, she tried to help
But she was much too pretty
So I just stared at the back of her legs
When I was a boy in Ohio

[Verse 4]
Well it was 3.2 beer at the honky tonk bar
Where they said that the girls, they were easy
Somehow I never found me one
When I was a boy in Ohio
Soon I was grown and I had to leave
And I've been all over the country
But I don't believe I've had more fun
Than when I was a boy in Ohio
