Ohio Lyrics by Chris Trapper

Technicolor

2013

[Verse]
Its hard to see past the shadow of the factory
Covered in graffiti, shattered glass, grass turned to weeds
The young will succumb that the sun never comes
And the broke will lose hope if the river never runs

[Verse]
I’m dodging potholes as I’m driving down the avenue
Every vacant storefront is a ghost town staring back at you
The chemical streaks on the dirty, dirty creek
There’s a cold-blooded rub-and-tug the politician sneaks in

[Chorus]
Ohio
Ohio
Oh

[Verse]
Feels like this whole town might be hooked on prescription drugs
There’s bars on all thе windows and there’s locks on all the clubs
Thеy’re adding up receipts and accounting the losses
They’re sweating in their sleep and their clinging to their crosses

[Verse]
I kinda laugh as I drive by the church
Cuz you never seen a town more broken down and cursed
You can borrow my phone if you need to tell your god he’s needed
Cuz from the looks of things down here looks like the devil’s plan succeeded

[Chorus]
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Oh

[Verse]
Rub it in you hit the jackpot seven seven seven
It’s only money but it’s something that I’m not forgetting
Used to pray all day I’d find a space up in heaven
Now I’m living here in Warren buying beer at a 7-11

[Verse]
To think I thought that I was living in the epicenter
Another drink’ll make the truth a little better
Still I’m proud to have come from the shadow of the sun
Although I warn every kid I meet to get out while you’re young

[Chorus]
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Oh
