[Verse 1]
Dusk in my dusty little town
Feel of summer all around
Hear the sound of all them locusts hummin'
Singing softly at the end of my day
Lulling me to sleep tonight
Up in my quiet little room
I am praying to the moon
Swear she's saying to me, "Soon is comin'"
Oh, I dream of getting carried away
Leaving this would be alright
[Chorus]
Hot Ohio
Turn your sky all cobalt blue
One more night
And then I might
Just turn out the light on you
[Verse 2]
Wait for the whistle of the train
Hear that carnival refrain
I could join and be the main attraction
Step right up, I don't believe my own eyes
Seeing who I wanna see:
Me, finally feeling I belong
Never feeling weird or wrong
Singing songs and loving all the action
I could live within a world of surprise
Being who I wanna be
[Chorus]
Hot Ohio
Turn your sky all cobalt blue
One more night
And then I might
Just turn out the light on you
(*whistling*)
One more night
And then I might
Just turn our the light on you
[Verse 3]
Dusk in my dusty little town
Dreams are falling to the ground
Hear the sound of nothing ever coming
But I'm waiting, and I'm wishing away
Maybe this'll be my day
[Chorus]
Hot Ohio
Turn your sky all cobalt blue
One more night
And then I might
Just turn out the light on you
Hot Ohio
(Oh) turn your sky all cobalt blue
One more night
And then I might
Just turn out the light on you
Hot Ohio
Hot Ohio
Hot Ohio
Hot Ohio
