[Intro] x 8 [Verse 1] I went back to Ohio But my city was gone There was no train station There was no downtown South Howard had disappeared All my favorite places My city had been pulled down Reduced to parking spaces [Chorus] Ay oh way to go Ohio [Guitar Solo] x 4 [Verse 2] Well I went back to Ohio But my family was gone I stood on the back porch There was nobody home I was stunned and amazed My childhood memories Slowly swirled past Like the wind through the trees [Chorus] Ay oh way to go Ohio [Guitar Solo] x 8 [Verse 3] I went back to Ohio But my pretty countryside Had been paved down the middle By a government that had no pride The farms of Ohio Had been replaced by shopping malls And Muzak filled the air From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls [Chorus] Said ay oh way to go Ohio [Guitar Solo Outro]

La chanson évoque le retour d'une personne dans sa ville natale, Ohio, où elle se rend compte que tout a changé. Les lieux de son enfance, autrefois chers à son cœur, ont disparu, remplacés par des parkings et des centres commerciaux. Les souvenirs d’une vie passée lui jaunissent les yeux alors qu'elle se retrouve face à une réalité dévastée, une campagne jadis belle maintenant transformée en espaces anonymes. Cette nostalgie souligne un profond sentiment de perte face à une modernité qui a effacé son passé.
