My City Was Gone lyrics
by Pretenders



I went back to Ohio but my city was goneThere was no train station; there was no downtownSouth Howard had disappeared; all my favorite placesMy city had been pulled down - reduced to parking spacesWay to go, OhioI went back to Ohio but my family was goneI stood on the back porch, there was nobody homeI was stunned and amazedMy childhood memories slowly swirled past like the wind through the treesWay to go, OhioI went back to OhioBut my pretty countryside had been paved down the middle by a government that had no prideThe farms of Ohio had been replaced by shopping mallsAnd muzak filled the air from Seneca to Cuyahoga FallsWay to go, Ohio
