there's a road outside columbus, ohio   feels like i drove along for years   this midwest way of ease, it surrounds us   i can't deny the rhythm here   and as i pull away from riverside beside me   that high street never looked so good   i miss my lady even though she often writes me   she tells me tales of my neighborhood      surprise, surprise   i've traveled here   four hundred miles from where i'm known   my friends are here   a couple years i've spent   i found i have a second home      as i'm blazing down upon my trail to education   there's no bliss in ignorance for me   i stop and stare   a breath of air might slow me down some   but that's just fine with me      surprise, surprise   i traveled here   four hundred miles from where i'm known   my friends are here   a couple years i've spent   i found i have a second home      i never traveled far   two hundred miles to go   that boulevard   will take me home      surprise, surprise   i traveled here   four hundred miles from where i'm known   my friends are here   a couple years i've spent   i found i have a second home      surprise, surprise   i traveled here   four hundred miles from where i'm known   my friends are here   a couple years i've spent   i found i have a second home      surprise, surprise   i traveled here   four hundred miles from where i'm known   my friends are here   a couple years i've spent   i found i have a second home      oh oh oh...   hey, hey, hey, hey...
