Mark Erelli - Columbus Ohio lyrics

Stranded on the outskirts Of Columbus Ohio Some motel next to a strip mall church With the neon burning cold It's raining soft and steady Like it always does in movies Now I'm good and drunk and ready So let the credits roll When I was a young man I never dreamed it wouldn't last All I wanted was tomorrow Now I'm haunted by the past Don't know where I'm going All I know is I ain't coming back I've had enough Of Columbus Ohio If I'd a ticket I would gladly Take the bus up to Eau Claire I'd hitch south to Cincinnati If I knew a soul down there There's no currency in Kerouac At least not since the sixties Lord, take pity on a vagabond Whose sails have all gone slack
