 C
Find me singin' on a back porch swingin'
 A#
Cur dogs barkin', left my dip in the kitchen
  F                                            C
That's when it hit me that I've been gone too long
 C
May not be like Hollywood
        A#
But we got nice hills and they roll real good
         F                                    C
Windows down, down on 93, man, you can't go wrong
C
All I need on a Friday night
         A#
Is some Coors in the cooler and a few fireflies
       F                                   C
And a good ol' fashioned mountain-dancin' song

Chorus:
C  A#
Ohio
F  C
Ohio
        A#
Oh, my home
   F  C
Is Ohio

Down by the river, near the burned down bridge
Pulled a .22 trigger and it bust my lid
I was eight years old when I learned how not to cry
I wanna go back and I might as well
But every time I leave, man, it hurts like hell
I hate to see them barefoot babies wave goodbye
It's tough to see my sweet mawmaw's grave
God rest her soul, I swore that I'd behave
And I'd always hold on to that hometown pride

Chorus - x2

Ohio
Ohio
Oh, my home
Ohio

Oh
Oh
Oh, my home is
Ohio
