Phil Ochs - Boy In Ohio Lyrics
Creek was running by the road
And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin'
I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive
When I was a boy in Ohio
He challenged us to checkers
And once in a while we'd swap a joke
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
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

Phil Ochs Boy In Ohio Comments
But, I'm the only multistate tax good boy :)
Here's to the city, I've got a lot of memories of being a boy in Ohio
Born and raised in Ohio. Great state, DESPITE what other might say.
Thanks to the wonders of Utube this favorite singer of mine constantly takes on new shadings.
i loved this to pieces UNTIL some scoundrel pointed out its uncanny sonic parallels to the warbles of John Denver...
I know what you mean, it's why I could never listen to David Bowie.... always sounded like a poor man's Anthony Newley.
lovely overlooked song from the great Phil Ochs
It surely is.
