Somewhere in Ohio Lyrics

Scarface you were out of place in Ohio
Too bad you were out ahead and you're slowin'
You were feeling like a bomb without a target
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Look out Joe I think the sky is falling
Seems that all the clouds have turned to stone
I'm calling you from somewhere deep in Ohio
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Skintight, you were up all night
And it's showin'
So tough you were breakin' up over the wire
Well I saw you heading up the Muddy River
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Look out Joe I think the sky is falling
Seems that all the clouds have turned to stone
I see the flashing lights along the highway
You sounded lost and desperate on the phone

Look out Joe I think the sky is falling
Seems that all the clouds have turned to stone
I'm calling you from somewhere deep in Ohio
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
