Phil Ochs - Boy in Ohio lyrics
Pre>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' berriesPhil Ochs - Boy in Ohio - http://motolyrics.com/phil-ochs/boy-in-ohio-lyrics.html
 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
