| [00:02.143][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:16.820] |
On a razor's edge |
| [00:20.288] |
At the first sign of light |
| [00:22.564] |
The car was packed |
| [00:25.474] |
While the house was quiet |
| [00:27.864] |
And my sister slept |
| [00:31.020] |
As we started the drive |
| [00:33.680] |
To California |
| [00:35.305] |
Where it's warmer |
| [00:36.883] |
Gonna start a new life |
| [00:38.823][Pre-Chorus 1] |
|
| [00:40.193] |
Gonna miss Ohio but this time |
| [00:44.355] |
We're gonna get it right |
| [00:46.676][Chorus 1] |
|
| [00:49.671] |
Station wagon tires, flying |
| [00:53.796] |
Katie's counting crows through the |
| [00:56.957] |
Tears in her blue eyes |
| [00:58.799] |
State lines and capitals go rushing |
| [01:02.517] |
By as I'm trying to find |
| [01:04.849] |
A station on the radio |
| [01:07.737] |
Everything's gonna be better on the west coast |
| [01:12.170][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:23.776] |
And the days move fast |
| [01:27.235] |
On northern plains |
| [01:29.190] |
And I read the maps |
| [01:30.789] |
The prairie grass moved |
| [01:32.693] |
In the wind like waves |
| [01:34.691] |
And we can't look back |
| [01:37.452] |
Some men you just can't save |
| [01:40.472] |
We had our reasons for leaving |
| [01:43.857] |
It's better this way |
| [01:45.723][Pre-Chorus 2] |
|
| [01:47.148] |
Gonna miss Ohio but I'm not |
| [01:51.469] |
Gonna miss the rain |
| [01:53.052][Chorus 2] |
|
| [01:56.578] |
Station wagon tires, flying |
| [02:00.722] |
Katie's counting crows through the |
| [02:03.881] |
Tears in her blue eyes |
| [02:05.808] |
State lines and capitals go rushing |
| [02:09.506] |
By as I'm trying to find |
| [02:11.745] |
A station on the radio |
| [02:14.360] |
Everything's gonna be better on the west coast |
| [02:20.278] |
Better than the mess that we left back home |
| [02:24.389] |
In Ohio |
| [02:30.112] |
Ohio |
| [02:35.684][Bridge] |
|
| [02:38.103] |
Goodbye blue house |
| [02:40.582] |
Goodbye red door |
| [02:43.347] |
Abandoned worlds where we would drink on weekends |
| [02:48.914] |
There's magnets pulling from the ocean floor |
| [02:54.372] |
I can't forget |
| [02:56.496] |
The way you looked when we were leaving |
| [02:59.225][Chorus 3] |
|
| [03:01.267] |
Tires, flying |
| [03:03.532] |
Katie's counting crows through the |
| [03:06.653] |
Tears in her blue eyes |
| [03:08.597] |
State lines and capitals go rushing |
| [03:12.199] |
By as I'm trying to find |
| [03:14.591] |
A station on the radio |
| [03:17.225] |
Everything's gonna be better on the west coast |
| [03:23.065] |
Better than the mess that we left back home |
| [03:27.071] |
In Ohio |
| [03:32.871] |
Ohio |
| [03:38.446] |
Ohio |
| [03:44.037] |
Ohio |
| [03:52.936] |
Ohio |
| [03:55.932] |
