Columbus, Ohio

I've been on the docks of Portland, Maine for quite some time
If I never saw the ocean anymore I don't think that I would mind
If after all this time I haven't been to sea
Oh maybe there is somewhere else I oughta be

And I've never been to Columbus, Ohio
Why oh why do I already know it's more like home than this
Are the neighbors nice, would I find someone I could walk my dog with
When I leave oh will it be a place to miss

I've been keeping tally of the days since I've been here
And my pencil's wearing down to just a stub, does it mean the end is near
Little lighthouse, should I stay or should I go
Would you miss me if I left you, would you ever even know

I've never been to Columbus, Ohio
Why oh why do I already know it's more like home than this
Are the neighbors nice, would I find someone I can settle down with
When I leave oh will it be a place to miss

Could it be Columbus is a thousand years away
Could it be Columbus isn't here, oh dear, to stay

I've never been to Columbus, Ohio
Why oh why do I already know it's more like home than this
Are the neighbors nice, would I find someone who I could grow old with
When I leave oh will it be a place to miss
