I know Ohio, like the back of my hand
Through the threshers all torn to pieces
Would I see regret to the last mile
Would make all this worthwhile
I know Ohio, like the back of my hand
I know Ohio, like the back of my hand
Mary said, "Don't leave your man alone"
'Cause we knew we would dream out loud in the night air
And it's strange to see your story end
Hello Ohio, the back roads
It's so sad to see your story end
It was summertime in '83
How I hate to see your story end
In my life I've seen a thousand dreams
And the land lay bare someone turned a profit there

And the reservoir was just as good for Joni
Hello Ohio, the back roads
And if I knew then I was older then
Yeah, I'm wonderin' what in the world
And a good son lost his life in a strip pit
When the sun went down we would all leave town
Valerie was singin' to the radio, Ohio
Alone Ohio, where the river bends
We were burnin' out at the rubber tree
And light our fires in the Egypt Bottom
Holly said, "Don't go inside the children's home"

Alone Ohio, where the river bends
Alone Ohio, where the river bends
Hello Ohio, the back roads
And it's strange to see your story end
And it's strange to see your story end
