I went back to Ohio   But my city was gone   There was no train station   There was no downtown      Southtown, it disappeared   All my favorite places   My city had been pulled down   Reduced to parking spaces   Ay, oh, where did you go, Ohio?      I went back to Ohio   But my family was gone   I stood on the back porch   There was nobody home      I was stunned and amazed   My childhood memories   Saw this world past   Like the wind through the trees   Ay, oh, where did you go, Ohio?      I went back to Ohio   But my pretty countryside   It had been paved down the middle   By a government that had no pride      The farms of Ohio   Had been replaced by shopping malls   And Muzak filled the air   From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls   Ay, oh, where did you go, Ohio?
