lyrics

I grew up near a sign that read:
“This marks the spot where a President
Was born and raised”
My only claim to fame
Legend has it they were so poor
He did not own shoes til he turned four
In the past this was a different place

As for me
I must have walked past those same oak trees
Back then they had fewer rings
So much else has changed
But some things are the same

A landscape James would not recognize
Dirt paths covered with painted lines
There’s a parking lot by the cabin in the woods
A man of science, an optimist
In a time when this was the wilderness
Now the rolling hills hide mansions behind gates

As for me
I must have skipped rocks on the same creek
Back then the water was safe to drink
So much else has changed
But some things are the same

Left town at twenty eight
It’s a big world out there, and it’s getting late
He had dreamt of this
In the quiet of the night
Like it was written in the stars


As for me
I found myself under that same sky
Back then Ohio had darker nights
The stars are out of reach
But it doesn’t hurt to dream

Be careful what you don’t wish for
You just might get it
