phil ochs - boy in ohio lyrics
g c g
creek was running by the road
d
and the buckeye sun was a-shinin’
g c g
i rode my bike down alum creek drive
em am
when i was a boy in ohio
g c g
the english teacher he didn’t care
f
he challenged us to checkers
bb dm d7
and once in a while we’d swap a joke
eb
when i was a boy in ohio
once i was caught playing hooky from school
they found me home in the evening
i confessed 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 tried to help
she was much too pretty
so i just stared at the back of her legs
when i was a boy in ohio
it was 3.2 beer- at the honky tonk bar
where they said the girls were easy
but somehow i never found me one
when i was a boy in ohio
soon i was grown and i had to leave
and i’ve been all over the country
but i don’t believe i’ve had more fun
than when i was a boy in ohio
