Ohio

On a razor's edge At the first sign of light The car was packed While the house was quiet And my sister slept As we started the drive To California Where it's warmer Gonna start a new life Gonna miss Ohio but this time We're gonna get it right Station wagon tires, flying Katie's counting crows through the Tears in her blue eyes State lines and capitals go rushing By as I'm trying to find A station on the radio Everything's gonna be better on the west coast And the days move fast On northern plains And I read the maps The prairie grass moved In the wind like waves And we can't look back Some men you just can't save We had our reasons for leaving It's better this way Gonna miss Ohio but I'm not Gonna miss the rain Station wagon tires, flying Katie's counting crows through the Tears in her blue eyes State lines and capitals go rushing By as I'm trying to find A station on the radio Everything's gonna be better on the west coast Better than the mess that we left back home In Ohio Ohio Goodbye blue house Goodbye red door Abandoned worlds where we would drink on weekends There's magnets pulling from the ocean floor I can't forget The way you looked when we were leaving Tires, flying Katie's counting crows through the Tears in her blue eyes State lines and capitals go rushing By as I'm trying to find A station on the radio Everything's gonna be better on the west coast Better than the mess that we left back home In Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio
