Over the years, I have come to realize how many songs are about Ohio, or at least refer to a particular idea of Ohio. Ohio is home. Ohio could be used in as a stand in for home because of the shared vowel sounds alone, but I have a more grand theory about songs about Ohio.
Ohio is home, but it is often a home that has been left and can never be returned to. Many of these songs are about a nostalgic look back at a place that only exists in the imagination. The idea of home provides a sentimental connection to Ohio but also casts it as a space that cannot be returned to. The person in the song misses Ohio and bemoans that he or she can no longer go there—sometimes literally but always metaphorically.
The narrator could return to Ohio but cannot recapture the lost youth, the lost sobriety, or the lost love. There is a sadness to these songs. They are a lament. However, while the singer is longing for the simplicity of her previous life, she is also cementing her future of never returning to Ohio.
Ohio becomes a site of nostalgia that is disconnected from the current time of the song. The narrator feels the pull of Ohio, but the gulf is too wide to bridge. This song cemented a perception of Ohio that sticks with us today. In all these songs, Ohio is a lost state. Ohio is a place that the artists grapple with, but no one seems content with Ohio alone. Ohio is always vying for attention with places that are more enticing. Most of the songs suggest kinship with Ohio, but there is always a sense of Ohio as being a part of the past.
