Lyrics:
G C GCreek was running by the road DAnd the Buckeye sun was a-shinin' G C GI rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive Em AmWhen I was a boy in OhioG C GThe English teacher he didn't care FHe challenged us to checkers Bb Dm D7And once in a while we'd swap a joke EbWhen I was a boy in OhioOnce I was caught playing hooky from schoolThey found me home in the eveningI confessed I had been to the movie showWhen I was a boy in OhioWe would wait for the summer to comeFor swimmin' and pickin' berriesBut now a freeway covers the field Where I used to be so happyI remember the Burger BoyWhere the girls would shine like the enginesAnd the radio was always loudWhen I was a boy in OhioSpanish teacher she tried to helpShe was much too prettySo I just stared at the back of her legsWhen I was a boy in OhioIt was 3.2 beer* at the honky tonk barWhere they said the girls were easyBut somehow I never found me oneWhen I was a boy in OhioSoon I was grown and I had to leaveAnd I've been all over the countryBut I don't believe I've had more funThan when I was a boy in Ohio
