When I was a boy in Ohio
17
Once I was caught playing hooky from school
18
They found me home in the evening
19
I confessed I had been to the movie show
20
When I was a boy in Ohio
21
We would wait for the summer to come
22
For swimmin' and pickin' berries
23
But now a freeway covers the field
24
Where I used to be so happy
25
I remember the Burger Boy
26
Where the girls would shine like the engines
27
And the radio was always loud
28
When I was a boy in Ohio
29
Spanish teacher she tried to help
30
She was much too pretty
31
So I just stared at the back of her legs
32
When I was a boy in Ohio
33
It was 3.2 beer* at the honky tonk bar
34
Where they said the girls were easy
35
But somehow I never found me one
36
When I was a boy in Ohio
37
Soon I was grown and I had to leave
38
And I've been all over the country
39
But I don't believe I've had more fun
40
Than when I was a boy in Ohio
