Electric Six - Escape From Ohio lyrics

rate me

<br>

There were twenty, maybe, twenty-five of us<br />

Drivin' out to California in a bus<br />

We were looking for a good time <br />

And a radio station we could trust.<br />

<br />

Suddenly we heard an angry thud<br />

And our mighty chariot turned into a dud<br />

We were stopped there in our tracks, man<br />

Adjacent to some cows chewing their cud.<br />

<br />

Lord, please send some mercy down to me.<br />

50 miles south of Bowling Green...<br />

This will clearly never be my scene.<br />

Why does every city start with 'C'?<br />

There's only one sure thing that I know:<br />

I've got to get out of Ohio!<br />

'Til then I'll never feel love.<br />

<br />

They say that what you give is what you're gonna get<br />

It's no wonder everything's gone to shit.<br />

Because they've given us John Boehner,<br />

You better believe they've given us Jean Schmidt!<br />

<br />

And the floodgates of hell have opened wide<br />

It's better to get all politics aside.<br />

They're gonna roll out Joe the Plumber<br />

Just to make sure our minds get properly fried.<br />

<br />

Lord, be merciful and let me die.<br />

50 miles south of Lodi.<br />

Round on both ends and the middle's high.<br />

What's so great about a buckeye?<br />

Whose might is riptide and undertow<br />

There's no escaping from Ohio.<br />

I'll never get to feel love.<br />

<br />

Hey!<br />

The walls they are closing in,<br />

But I'm just inside of Michigan.<br />

The only way that I'll obtain ya,<br />

Is if I get over to Pennsylvania.<br />

Except for TV, V, and DEVO<br />

Nothing seems to redeem Ohio.<br />

It is the state that killed my love.<br />

<br />

Hey!<br />

Don't you want to come with me <br />

Hey!<br />

And make a break for Kentucky<br />

Hey!<br />

I still got something to put in ya<br />

Hey!<br />

But we'll have to go to West Virginia.<br />

And I've heard great things about Indiana, too.
