Sweet Ohio I am coming home!

Living in Virginia has been great, and there are many wonderful people here that I'm really I'm going to miss, but right now, this song by a relatively obscure band (who I heard when we both played at a festival at Camp Luther overlooking Lake Erie) is really articulating how I feel as I get ready to move back to OHIO!

Listen to it:

Lyrics for "Ohio" by IDENTITY (from the album "Hope and a Future"):

Well I’m moving to Ohio
To the state I call my home
‘Cause folks back there,
They really care about you

Been all across this nation
From the east coast to the west
And I’m convinced Ohio is the best

Well there ain’t point no trying
To keep me here no more
Cause I feel great
Buckeye state is calling
Hurry road and get me to the place I love to roam
Sweet Ohio I am coming home!

I miss the rolling hillsides
The winding southern plains
I miss the northern coastline of Lake Erie

You may think I’m crazy
But you will never know
And I don’t care
I love it there
And I am going home!

I miss the rolling hillsides
The winding southern plains
I miss the northern coastline of Lake Erie *

You may think I’m crazy
But you will never know
And I don’t care -- I love it there!
And I am going home!

Hurry road and get me to the place I love to roam
Sweet Ohio I am coming home!
I said my sweet Ohio I am coming home!


* I typed it how I hear it, but I think that this line should be "the northern coastline on Lake Erie", as the northern coastline of Lake Erie would be the Canadian shore, eh?
