Intro Verse Stranded on the outskirts Of Columbus Ohio Some motel next to a strip mall church With the neon burning cold Verse It's raining soft and steady Like it always does in movies Now I'm good and drunk and ready So let the credits roll When I was a young man, I never dreamed it wouldn't last All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm haunted by the past Don't know where I'm going, all I know is, I ain't coming back I've had enough of Columbus Ohio Verse If I'd a ticket I would gladly Take the bus up to Eau Claire I'd hitch south to Cincinnati If I knew a soul down there Verse There's no currency in Kerouac At least not since the sixties Lord, take pity on a vagabond Whose sails have all gone slack When I was a young man, I never dreamed it wouldn't last All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm haunted by the past Don't know where I'm going, all I know is, I ain't coming back I've had enough of Columbus Ohio I've had enough of Columbus Ohio
