Summer is always a productive time for me. As a teacher, I have free time for the first time in 10 months. So, on the third day of summer, I wrote my first new song in over half a year. I've been trying to write as simply as possible, using just my acoustic guitar and one vocal line. I might flesh it out more later, but right now, I like it as stripped down as possible. The new one's called "Ohio". I'll post a video of it soon, but here are the lyrics:
Ohio
Rolling on to find Ohio
Onward through the night. Ohio,
Over the hills all dressed in
Deep Pennsylvania dark.
Ohio.
(She) feels the light that climbs behind her.
Like all her family's eyes: behind her.
She's come this far and still she
Ain't left the Interstate.
Ohio.
Flat and straight she finds Ohio.
Pressing on to find Chicago,
And when she gets there she'll just
Leave for another place.
Ohio.
