Boy In Ohio Lyrics - Live Again! - Phil Ochs

Creek was running by the road 

And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin' 

I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive 

When I was a boy in Ohio 

The English teacher he didn't care 

 

He challenged us to checkers 

And once in a while we'd swap a joke 

When I was a boy in Ohio 

Once I was caught playing hooky from school 

 

They found me home in the evening 

I confessed I had been to the movie show 

When I was a boy in Ohio 

 

We would wait for the summer to come 

For swimmin' and pickin' berries 

But now a freeway covers the field 

Where I used to be so happy 

 

I remember the Burger Boy 

Where the girls would shine like the engines 

And the radio was always loud 

When I was a boy in Ohio 

 

Spanish teacher she tried to help 

She was much too pretty 

So I just stared at the back of her legs 

When I was a boy in Ohio 

 

It was 3.2 beer at the honky tonk bar 

Where they said the girls were easy 

But somehow I never found me one 

When I was a boy in Ohio 

 

Soon I was grown and I had to leave 

And I've been all over the country 

But I don't believe I've had more fun 

Than when I was a boy in Ohio
