I want to love you the way that you love me
and I want to hold you the way that I should.
And I wish I was home in this town by the ocean
cuz you've both done me right and you've treated me good.
But in my mind, I am driving up north through Kentucky
and darling, you're not by my side.
I am stuck in a memory, even when I'm with you
of heading home to a love that I wish I could hide.
So if someday you wake up alone in your bed
and you're wondering why I left town,
know that I am in love with a boy from Cincinnati
and Ohio's been following me 'round.
And maybe I'll drive all those two-thousand miles
to find him with somebody new.
But I'd rather be traveling weary and lonesome
than to be by your side with a heart that's untrue.
So if someday you wake up alone in your bed
and you're wondering why I left town,
know that I am in love with a boy from Cincinnati
and Ohio's been following me 'round.
