OHIO
Carry me to Ohio
And tell the boys that it's okay (it's okay)
Cross the river through the valley
Thirty miles north Cincinnati
Take me back where I was named
Bury me in Ohio
Passed the creek where I was saved
In the dirt where we were raised up
To love God and be thankful for life
You know I'd do it all again
When I was 12 years old
Thought I had it rough
But the pain it fades away just like the sun at dusk
Mom was holding on
And did the best she could
Tried to raise me up in faith and find the holy ghost
I didn't know
I was 18 trying to make it
Beat the odds and expectations
Met a girl lost track of time
Blink my eyes, I'm 35
My whole life spent in this state
Watched my kids grow on these streets
When it's time to say goodbye
Please carry me
Carry me to Ohio
And tell the boys that it's okay (it's okay)
Cross the river through the valley
Thirty miles north Cincinnati
Take me back where I was named
Bury me in Ohio
Passed the creek where I was saved
In the dirt where we were raised up
To love God and be thankful for life
You know I'd do it all again
On these back roads under streetlights
My roots grow down 75 (down 75)
A couple reckless kids staying out all night
Friends became family and some said goodbye
So when it's time take a drive to 6745
In the backyard by the pines
With memories of my whole life
By where the garden grows
Lay to rest my bones
And please carry me back home
You know growing up wasn't always easy
We were kids in the 90s and uh, we moved around a lot
Eventually our family settled down in a small town outside the city limits
When you hit exit A, just hang a left
And at that first light, take a right
We grew up at the end of that street
Carry me to Ohio
And tell the boys that it's ok
Cross the river through the valley
Thirty miles north Cincinnati
Take me back where I was named
Bury me in Ohio
Passed the creek where I was saved
In the dirt where we were raised up
To love God and be thankful for life
You know I'd do it all again
And tell the boys that it's okay (it's okay)
Cross the river through the valley
Thirty miles north Cincinnati
Take me back where I was named
Bury me in Ohio
Passed the creek where I was saved
In the dirt where we were raised up
To love God and be thankful for life
You know I'd do it all again
When I was 12 years old
Thought I had it rough
But the pain it fades away just like the sun at dusk

And did the best she could
Tried to raise me up in faith and find the holy ghost
