You can probably tell where I'm from
Mid-American joy & then some
Tell the kid who he'll be and he won't believe
There's a push and a pull to become
More than notable high school alum
You could never have asked too much of me
Oh, I could walk the streets
And know my way around them in my sleep, but
I've been measuring the space between
Who I was and who I hoped to be
Today, it's close
So, I know I'm alright
There's a town that you might never see
But it built me up from underneath
It has always been inside
That Sweet Ohio Light
I keep wondering where I belong
Without checking the boundaries I've drawn
Proximity never had any hold on me
Oh, I could walk the streets
And know my way around them in my sleep, but
I've been measuring the space between
Who I was and who I hoped to be
Today, it's close
So, I know I'm alright
There's a town that you might never see
But it built me up from underneath
It has always been inside
That Sweet Ohio Light
That Sweet Ohio Light
Ohh, ohh
That Sweet Ohio Light
I've been measuring the space between
Who I was and who I hoped to be
Today, it's close
So, I know I'm alright
There's a town that you might never see
But it built me up from underneath
It has always been inside
That Sweet Ohio Light
