Back in Ohio Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the open ocean
Sailing down to Cuba
Guns are in the galley
Someone's gotta shoot 'em

[Chorus]
Away-away, oh
Destiny awaits
Sailing to redemption
But they'll miss you
Back home in Oh-hio
Back in Oh-hio

[Verse 2]
You threw knives in the circus
Now you're fighting in the jungle
You've got babies in Miami
A rebel for a lover

[Chorus]
Away-away, oh
Destiny awaits
Sailing to redemption
But they'll miss you
Back home in Oh-hio
Back in Oh-hio

[Bridge]
Looking down the barrel's
Of twenty loaded guns
All the letters written
All the fighting's been done
A man without a country
Ain't getting out alive
They never collected the bounty
You're still left to pay the price

[Chorus]
Away-away, oh
Destiny awaits
Sailing to redemption
But they'll miss you
Back home in—

Away-away, oh
Your destiny awaits
You're sailing to redemption
But they'll miss you
Back home in Oh-hio
Back in Oh-hio
Back in Oh-hio
Back in Oh-hio

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.
