Lyrics: O.A.R.. Road Outside Columbus.

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've 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 upon 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

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

oh oh oh...
hey, hey, hey, hey...
