Ohio

Dear Diana I confess that though Columbia's a mess
 I swear to God this one last job will get us through
 I know this isn't what we'd planned, but I'm doing all I can
 A few more weeks and I'll be running back to you
 But now I'm stuck in Carolina trying to find my way home
 But the work is going long I feel it heavy in my bones
 And I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
 Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
 My love the stars here ain't as bright as a clear Ohio night
 But I still find the ones I know that you can see
 I'm pulling strength down from above but it's never quite enough
 The more I work it seems the less I get to keep
 But now I'm stuck in Carolina trying to find my way home
 But the money don't go far enough for how far I gotta go
 And I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
 Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
 I left you in the summer sun when hopes were high and dreams could run
 But none of this was how it was meant to go
 Yea I've been gone for far too long, the best intentions can run wrong
 And even Carolina's starting to get cold
 Darling you told me from the start to never bet against my odds
 In all this time I've never held a winning hand
 There's giving up a trying fight and then there's doing what is right
 I'm packing up and coming home to be your man
 'Cause I've been stuck in Carolina trying to find my way home
 Guess the rails can take me north back to my lover in the snow
 And I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
 Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
 Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
 Yea I'm just trying to get back to Ohio
