Boy in Ohio Lyrics

Pre>g c g
Creek was running by the road
D
And the buckeye sun was a-shinin'
G c g
I rode my bike down alum creek drive
Em am
When I was a boy in ohio

G c g
The english teacher he didn't care
F
He challenged us to checkers
Bb dm d7
And once in a while we'd swap a joke
Eb
When I was a boy in ohio

Once I was caught playing hooky from school
They found me home in the evening
I confessed I had been to the movie show
When I was a boy in ohio

We would wait for the summer to come
For swimmin' and pickin' berries
But now a freeway covers the field
Where I used to be so happy

I remember the burger boy
Where the girls would shine like the engines
And the radio was always loud
When I was a boy in ohio

Spanish teacher she tried to help
She was much too pretty
So I just stared at the back of her legs
When I was a boy in ohio

It was 3.2 beer* at the honky tonk bar
Where they said the girls were easy
But somehow I never found me one
When I was a boy in ohio

Soon I was grown and I had to leave
And I've been all over the country
But I don't believe I've had more fun
Than when I was a boy in ohio
