Ohio reflects a coming of age and the realization that he will soon be leaving the place he grew up. In the bittersweet time of leaving, he realizes all of the small moments that will be the most important to him when he is gone.
[Verse 1]
You know when I grow up
I’m gonna look back at the place I left
Rollin' the dice on the weekend
Conversations and the company kept
[Verse 2]
Smokin' cigarettes behind the school with my best friends
I never will forget, takin' that with me till the end
Football and tall trees, the autumn never ends
Summer lovin'
[Chorus]
And Ohio
Treat me well
And Ohio
Treat me well
[Verse 3]
Some things you can’t forget, like your first kiss
Under the bleachers in the Seventh Grade, I damn near missed
All these memories, shootin' shivers down my spine
Make them into melodies, play me yours and I’ll play mine
[Chorus]
And Ohio
Treat me well
And Ohio
Treat me well
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
And oh, when I grow up
Gonna look back at the place I left
