FOut from my window acCross from the city
I Ghave what's considered a Amgood view
Two Fblocks from the subway, tChree from the fountain
Where I Gwalk to break in Amnew shoes
She sFtands on the sidewalk just wCaving at taxis
Like hGorses in parades in fAmancies
I Fask where she's headed she tCells me 
Ohio, I've Gnot seen my mother in Amages
FIt's been a long tCime, Ga real long Amtime
FIt's been a long tCimeG, a real long Amtime
FOut from my window How Cfar is Ohio?
She Glaughed and pointed out Ameast
She Fsaid I grew up there Cwith my dear mother
And I Ghaven't seen her since thirAmteen
You Fsee, I was taken wChile she lay sleeping
By my fGather's hired Ammen
We Fmoved to city so fCar from my family
I Ghaven't been back there sAmince
FIt's been a long Ctime, Ga real long Amtime
FIt's been a long Ctime, Ga real long Amtime
FOut from my window please Chear me Ohio
Your Gdaughter wants to come Amhome
She Flongs to be with you to Chug you to kiss you
To Gnever leave her Amalone
And I've Fgotten know her to Clive with to love her
It's Ghard to see her Amleave
She beFlongs to her mother and the sCtate of Ohio
I Gwish she belonged to Amme
FIt's been a long Ctime, Ga real long Amtime
FSee you someCtimeG, see you someAmtime
