85. The Pretenders- My City Was Gone (vinyl)
5 months ago
(From the 1982 Sire 45 (7-29840.)

This is the B-side of "Back On The Chain Gang".
Lyrics:

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
A, o, way to go ohio

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
A, o, oh way to go ohio

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Had been replaced by shopping malls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, a, o, oh way to go ohio

Note: I am no fan whatsoever of Rush Limbaugh.

    Great song, but Rush is the greatest!

    Whether or not you are a fan, he IS the voice of America.
