G C G Creek was running by the road D And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin' G C G I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive Em Am When I was a boy in Ohio G C G The English teacher he didn't care F He challenged us to checkers Bb Dm D7 And once in a while we'd swap a joke Eb When I was a boy in Ohio G C G Once I was caught playing hooky from school D They found me home in the evening G C G I confessed I had been to the movie show Em Am When I was a boy in Ohio G C G We would wait for the summer to come F For swimmin' and pickin' berries Bb Dm D7 But now a freeway covers the field Eb Where I used to be so happy G C G I remember the Burger Boy D Where the girls would shine like the engines G C G And the radio was always loud Em Am When I was a boy in Ohio G C G Spanish teacher she tried to help D She was much too pretty G C G So I just stared at the back of her legs Em Am When I was a boy in Ohio G C G It was 3.2 beer at the honky tonk bar D Where they said the girls were easy G C G But somehow I never found me one Em Am When I was a boy in Ohio G C G Soon I was grown and I had to leave D And I've been all over the country C C G But I don't believe I've had more fun Em Am Than when I was a boy in Ohio
