70 West at 7 AM I'm on a winding road again A cardinal singing me a goodbye song Why does it feel like I am doing something wrong? Out on the wind but I'll get there soon Outside Chicago by the afternoon Stop to get a coffee 3 times a day Why do I feel close to you and so far away? Ohio, please forgive this boy for running Blame the spell that I fell under Called the California Sun Ohio, please forgive this boy for leaving Though you probably don't believe me But I regret the things I said when I was young I can see the shimmer of the ocean blue You gotta get real high to get this view And I remember living on flat land Craving peaks and valleys, she just couldn't understand Ohio, please forgive this boy for dreaming Every man must search for meaning For adventure and for fun Ohio, can my exit be a lesson? Cause now my tongue's confessing I regret the things I said when I was young Is that such a crime? Is it such a crime? I fell in love with life Is that such a crime? I fell in love with life I fell in love with life Is that such a crime? I fell in love with life Is that such a crime? Is that such a crime? I fell in love! Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio
