There's nothing left to say
And nothing to do
This house is lonely
Now I'm here without you
So I sit and I wait for the sun

The streets are crowded
And the lights are so bright
Another Cincinnati Saturday night
And I hate
What that has become

And I've been thinking that I should go
'Cause if I don't leave now
Then I'm never gonna leave Ohio, Lord
And that's a chance that I just can't take
Now that I'm getting older

I thought that we would set the city on fire
But if we stick around, we'll surely expire
As our dreams
Slip right through our hands
Lately, I've been learning more about love
From a precious heart that cares about us
I think she belongs where I stand

And I've been thinking that I should go
But if I don't leave now
Then I'm never gonna leave Ohio, Lord
And that's a chance that I just can't take
Now that I'm getting older

And I've been thinking that we should go
'Cause if we don't leave now
Then we're never gonna leave Ohio, Lord
And that's a chance that we just can't take
Now we're all getting older
