I've come a long way from Tarkiln Road
Where the letters on the box read '4-2-0', in Ohio
I didn't smoke, but I drank
Too young to care what anyone would think, in Ohio
I skipped school when I could
Play my guitar way back in the woods, in Ohio
Start a fire and fill my cup
From the bottle that I had stashed in the mud, Ohio
You shaped me, you made me just who I am, uh-hmm-mm
There's a star on the stage
And they don't know his name, but he sounds just like
Ohio
There's a passion in his eye
And a dream to fly
But he holds on tight
To Ohio
♪
A little place between heaven and hell
It always seemed to suit me well
Early mornings, late nights
Learning how to work and love, and fight
It's been everything I've ever known
Ohio's my home
You shaped me, you made me just who I am, uh-hmm-mm
There's a star on the stage
And they don't know his name, but he sounds just like
Ohio
There's a passion in his eye
And a dream to fly
But he holds on tight
To Ohio

It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights
It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights
It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights
It's them cornfield party nights
It's them big bright football lights
You shaped me, you made me just who I am, uh-hmm-mm

And they don't know his name, but he sounds just like
