Journeys of Jack Tripper

with apologies to The Pretenders

I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no river bridge
There was no downtown
All my favorite places
Were covered with snow
I didn't know the faces
Wal-Mart is the mayor now
A, O, way to go Ohio.

Well, I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
Kid brother off in Iowa
There was nobody home
Dad was workin' out a new knee
I sat down at the piano
Called up some faded memories
But I think I better go
A, O, way to go Ohio.

I went back to Ohio
Have to leave for Akron's shore
Through a pretty countryside
That's probably not there anymore
The hometown of Chrissie Hynde
My destination today
I've got my jingle bells on
But my Jeep's no one horse-sleigh
A, O, way to go Ohio.

I'm here. It's 20 degrees and there's snow everywhere. Leaving for Akron now, be back Friday. Have fun, kiddos.
