Road Outside Columbus

O.A.R.

There's a road outside Columbus, Ohio.

Feels like I drove along for years.

This Midwest way of ease it surrounds us.

I can't deny the rhythm here.

And as I pull away from Riverside beside me.

That High Street never looked so good.

I miss my lady even though she often writes me.

She tells me tales of my neighborhood.



Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.

Four hundred miles from where I'm known.

My friends are here.

A couple years I've spent,

I found I have a second home.



As I'm blazing down my trail to education.

There's no bliss in ignorance for me.

I stop and stare, a breath of air

Might slow me down some.

But that's just fine with me.



Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.

Four hundred miles from where I'm known.

My friends are here.

A couple years I've spent,

I found I have a second home.



I never traveled far.

Two hundred miles to go.

That boulevard will take me home.



Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.

Four hundred miles from where I'm known.

My friends are here.

A couple years I've spent,

I found I have a second home.

Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.

Four hundred miles from where I'm known.

My friends are here.

A couple years I've spent,

I found I have a second home.
