(Verse 1)
In a land so far from Ohio's shore,
Where coffee blooms and the condors soar,
I found myself in Colombia’s grace,
A million miles from my old home base.

(Verse 2)
The Andes rise like I've never seen,
Emerald hills and valleys in between,
The Salsa rhythms take the place,
Of the country tunes in that Ohio space.

(Chorus)
I’m living far from Ohio, where my roots are deep and strong,
Now Colombia's where I lay my head, but Ohio’s where I belong.
The warmth here isn’t just the sun, it’s the people that I’ve known,
I'm living life in Colombia, but Ohio's still my home.

(Verse 3)
The city lights of Bogotá,
They twinkle different than those stars I saw,
Back on the porch in that Midwestern night,
But here the fireflies still bring the light.

(Verse 4)
I trade my buckeye for a guava tree,
My flatland home for this vast country,
I've learned to dance with my cumbia feet,
And my heart’s learned a brand-new beat.

(Chorus)
I’m living far from Ohio, where my roots are deep and strong,
Now Colombia's where I lay my head, but Ohio’s where I belong.
The warmth here isn’t just the sun, it’s the people that I’ve known,
I'm living life in Colombia, but Ohio's still my home.

(Bridge)
From Medellín to Cali, to the Caribbean Sea,
I’m seeing the world in colors that were once just dreams to me,
But dreams don't replace that river, where I learned to fish and row,
A part of me lives in Cassenary, but my heart's in Ohio.

(Verse 5)
I’ve found love in every corner here, in every newfound friend,
In every mountain town that's welcomed me, every road that seems to bend,
But when the night is still, and the air is cool, my mind starts to roam,
Back to my family, my old friends, and that Ohio home.

(Chorus)
I’m living far from Ohio, where my roots are deep and strong,
Now Colombia's where I lay my head, but Ohio’s where I belong.
The warmth here isn’t just the sun, it’s the people that I’ve known,
I'm living life in Colombia, but Ohio's still my home.

(Outro)
To lands both near and far, to the places that we roam,
To the love we find on distant shores, and the comfort found in home.
Though I’m living here in Colombia, where the coffee fields are grown,
My heart sings a song of Ohio, the sweetest song I've known.
