Of the Ohio Lyrics

He said I like it but I think I really miss your edge

As we listened to my songs on his TV set

We drank a couple beers and then I went to bed

I couldn't sleep and thought about the thing he'd said.

It's true that I've been struggling since the band broke up

Been looking for the melody in milder stuff

Do i have to sing at the top of my lungs to be heard

I made a decent record but it didn't sell

I promised lot's of money to the guys who helped

Then I moved across the country and my voice gave out

I saw a bunch of doctors and they all found

Different things

The first was sure that it was allergies

And the second specialist said he did agree

Four months, a routine and some pills a day later

And i really wasn't getting any better

It's gone, it's gone

And I wondered if it's time to move on

It's gone, it's gone

Well I had a good run

And I think it might be time to sing another song

I decided that I couldn't throw the towel in yet

So I saw a different doctor and you'd never guess

That the thief in the night was a meal that I ate before bed

Mixed with stress it was eating me alive

I started on some medicine to neutralize

All the acid in my stomach

And I learned not to eat after seven

What am I, fifty-five

Well the symptoms eased up

And the pain regressed

And a good friend's teaching me how to deal with the stress

In the word's of John Mayer I'm In repair

And I think that the worst is behind me

It's gone, I think it's gone

And I'm glad that I don't have to move on

It's gone, it's gone

And I'm learning how to sing again

I hope that i can write you a million songs

When things settled down and I had a mo

To miss all my family and my friends back home

Just a boy and girl of the Ohio

Trying to make it out on the West Coast

Been asking the Lord what it all means

Been writing lots of songs about my feelings

And I'm making progress in therapy

Trying to make sense of why it feels so hard

To be gone, I'm gone

And I'm finding it hard to move on

I'm gone, I'm gone, when will this place feel like home I don't know

But I'm gone, I'm gone, and I'm finding it hard to move on

I'm gone, I'm gone

Do you always have to leave just to figure out where you belong
