My City Was Gone - Pretenders

作词：Chrissie Hynde

I went back to ohio

But my city was gone

There was no train station

There was no downtown

South howard had disappeared

All my favorite places

My city had been pulled down

Reduced to parking spaces

A o way to go ohio

Well I went back to ohio

But my family was gone

I stood on the back porch

There was nobody home

I was stunned and amazed

My childhood memories

Slowly swirled past

Like the wind through the trees

A o oh way to go ohio

I went back to ohio

But my pretty countryside

Had been paved down the middle

By a government that had no pride

The farms of ohio

Had been replaced by shopping malls

And muzak filled the air

From seneca to cuyahoga falls

Said a o oh way to go ohio
