Pretenders
My City Was Gone (Remix)
[Verse 1: Chrissie Hynde]
I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
[Verse 2: Chrissie Hynde]
Well, I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
[Verse 3: Kool Keith]
I can do this with the quickness
Non-stopping, heads bopping, keep rocking
When the pro start rapping, hands clappin'
Skill, [?], refill until you feel unorthodox
Freestyle, meanwhile [?]
And a live situation on the top
Rock station [?], still the hardest
Capital action, Kool Kеith's slackin'
I'm movin' backspin
Y'all tryna [?]
With Chrissie, [?] through your mind
On time, one rhymе, intro, outro
Through your central mentality
Technicality
[?] capacity
Quick salaries
[?] shiftin'
[Verse 4: Chrissie Hynde]
I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
