This is a very personal song for me. Specifically it was about my uncle passing away, and my Dad’s struggle with losing his brother and best friend as well as me and my family’s struggle of dealing with such a sudden loss. There’s always a very confusing stage of grieving where you have to find a wa...
[Verse 1]
I’m packin up my things and leavin this old life behind
I’m looking for a place, where it’s warm and the sunlight shines
But there’s a piece of me that I can’t bring, hurts like hell watching you fade in the rearview
But it’s something I gotta do, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh Ohio, I’ve gotta go, gotta leave you in the past
Oh I don’t know, how long it’ll take but if I stay on the gas
I’m gonna get there, where I can find my soul, cuz your memory, won’t seem to let me be
More than halfway whole
[Verse 2]
I know you used to say, when I get called home don’t shed no tears
But taking it day by day, is easier said than done when you’re not here
And I know you’re up there now watchin over me, so I hope you’ll understand
Why I need this change of scene, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh Ohio, I’ve gotta go, gotta leave you in the past
Oh I don’t know, how long it’ll take but if I stay on the gas
I’m gonna get there, where I can find my soul, cuz your memory, won’t seem to let me be
More than halfway whole
(Halfway whole)
[Bridge]
And I hope you know I’m not trying to forget
The lessons you taught me or the times that we had
And it helps to know, I’ll see you again my friend, but until then
[Chorus]
Oh Ohio, gotta go, gotta leave you in the past
Oh I don’t know, how long it’ll take but if I stay on the gas
I’m gonna get there, where I can find my soul, cuz your memory, won’t seem to let me be
More than halfway whole
(Halfway whole)
(Yeah yeah)
(Halfway whole)
