Ohio

Dear Diana I confess that though Columbia's a mess
I swear to God this one last job will get us through
I know this isn't what we'd planned, but I'm doing all I can
A few more weeks and I'll be running back to you

But now I'm stuck in Carolina trying to find my way home
But the work is going long I feel it heavy in my bones
And I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio

My love the stars here ain't as bright as a clear Ohio night
But I still find the ones I know that you can see
I'm pulling strength down from above but it's never quite enough
The more I work it seems the less I get to keep

But now I'm stuck in Carolina trying to find my way home
But the money don't go far enough for how far I gotta go
And I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio

I left you in the summer sun when hopes were high and dreams could run
But none of this was how it was meant to go
Yea I've been gone for far too long, the best intentions can run wrong
And even Carolina's starting to get cold

Darling you told me from the start to never bet against my odds
In all this time I've never held a winning hand
There's giving up a trying fight and then there's doing what is right
I'm packing up and coming home to be your man

'Cause I've been stuck in Carolina trying to find my way home
Guess the rails can take me north back to my lover in the snow
And I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
