Creek was running by the road
And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin'
I my bike down Alum Creek Drive
When I was a boy in Ohio

The English teacher he n't care
He us to checkers
And once in a while we'd swap a joke
When I was a boy in Ohio

Once I was playing hooky from school
They me home in the evening
I 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 to help
She was much too pretty
So I just at the back of her legs
When I was a boy in Ohio

It was 3.2 beer* at the honky tonk bar
They that the girls there were easy
But somehow I never me one
When I was a boy in Ohio

Soon I was grown and I to leave
And I've been all over the country
But I don't believe I've more fun
Than when I was a boy in Ohio
