ST MARYS, ON THE OHIO
THE POWER PLANTS THEY GLOW
THEY GLOW AND THEY GUIDE ME HOME
TO EUREKA, SUCH A WINDING ROAD
THE BACKWATER FLOWS
BUT IT'S FULL OF CHEMICALS
AND EVERY TIME I RETURN
IT'S LIKE I'M 9 YEARS OLD
I REMEMBER THE OLD BACK PORCH
AND THE STORIES THAT WERE TOLD
MEMORIES, COME TO ME WHEN THE RAIN DROPS
MEMORIES, OH OH OH
MEMORIES, I'D LIKE TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK
MEMORIES, OH OH OH
THE GREEN COURTS
WE'D PLAY WHEN IT GOT DARK
IN BELMONT'S ONLY PARK
I FOUND THE BEATING OF MY HEART
AT THE TRAIN BRIDGE, AFTER MIDNIGHT
WE'D WAIT FOR HEADLIGHTS
THEN WE'D JUMP, JUMP
AS OUR YOUTH TOOK FLIGHT
AND EVERY TIME I RETURN
IT'S LIKE I'M 9 YEARS OLD
I REMEMBER THE OLD BACK PORCH
AND THE STORIES THAT WERE TOLD
MEMORIES, COME TO ME WHEN THE RAIN DROPS
MEMORIES, OH OH OH
MEMORIES, I'D LIKE TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK
MEMORIES, OH OH OH
