lyrics

Some other boy from Ohio can be Bobby Dylan
When I grow up, I want to be you
And sing out in a voice just as strong and clear as yours
Another round of Phil Ochs’ Blues

They say that you sailed too far out to sea
And wrecked on the sholes on your returning
But though i was just a kid, your songs were special to me
And in my heart, they set something burning

Some other boy from ohio can be Bobby Dylan
When I grow up, I want to be you
And sing out in a voice just as strong and clear as yours
Another round of Phil Ochs’ Blues

You were like a canary deep down in the mine
From your dungeon you sang out a warning
And while many ignored you, you told all who would hear
That it all could be different come morning

Some other boy from Ohio can be Bobby Dylan
When I grow up, I want to be you
And sing out in a voice just as strong and clear as yours
Another round of Phil Ochs’ Blues

There’s just too much injustice in this wicked old world
For any one man to make it okay
But you did your best, which was better than most
And “thank you” is all i wanted to say

Some other boy from Ohio can be Bobby Dylan
When I grow up, I want to be you
And sing out in a voice just as strong and clear as yours
Another round of Phil Ochs’ Blues
And sing out in a voice just as strong and clear as yours
Another round of Phil Ochs’ Blues
