[Verse 1]
I’m packin up my things and leavin this old life behind
I’m looking for a place, where it’s warm and the sunlight shines
But there’s a piece of me that I can’t bring, hurts like hell watching you fade in the rearview
But it’s something I gotta do, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh Ohio, I’ve gotta go, gotta leave you in the past
Oh I don’t know, how long it’ll take but if I stay on the gas
I’m gonna get there, where I can find my soul, cuz your memory, won’t seem to let me be
More than halfway whole

[Verse 2]
I know you used to say, when I get called home don’t shed no tears
But taking it day by day, is easier said than done when you’re not here
And I know you’re up there now watchin over me, so I hope you’ll understand
Why I need this change of scene, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh Ohio, I’ve gotta go, gotta leave you in the past
Oh I don’t know, how long it’ll take but if I stay on the gas
I’m gonna get there, where I can find my soul, cuz your memory, won’t seem to let me be
More than halfway whole

(Halfway whole)
