lyrics

You got your boardwalk shoes and your baby blues
Nothin’ was wrong, nothin’ was wrong
I took your hand in that August sand
You felt so strong, I felt so strong

Symphonies of fortune and fortunate sons
Singin’ along, singin’ their songs
I walked all night from Bay Head to the Heights
Just to find dawn, not to find you were gone

Don’t you go to Ohio
It’s the sand and the sun and the sea
That you’ll miss when you’re not here with me
And your East Coast hair will look different out there
There’s no heart in the heartland for you
Don’t make the Midwest your next move

I saw men dance on lakes, I saw fish in the street, it was June
I saw ghosts cripple cars, I saw deserts and bars on the moon
I saw undercover lovers, I saw military mothers and their pain
I ate fresh key lime pie on some Key West church steps in the rain
I saw joy, I saw panic, from the West to the Atlantic and I know
One day you’ll escape, but it won’t be to Ohio
Yeah one day you’ll escape, but it won’t be to Ohio

Don’t you go to Ohio
It’s the sand and the sun and the sea
That you’ll miss when you’re not here with me
And your East Coast hair will look different out there
There’s no heart in the heartland for you
Don’t make the Midwest your next move
