Die Midwestern Songtext
von Arlo McKinley

(One, two)

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 gettin' 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
'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 gettin' 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 gettin' older
