Oh Susquehanna - Defiance, Ohio - W/ LYRICS (BEST QUALITY)

It is about time somebody put just the song up. Message me if you want me to put any more up.
The Great Depression, 2006
Defiance Ohio.

We walk at the paths at the banks of the mighty Susquehanna, with our feet made muddy by your tributaries that trickle their way to the Chesapeake. It's like we follow I-83 down to harbor cities with strip malls and tar-mac, people swirling and teeming. It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight.

I grew up near Kentucky's Mt. Zion Road and all that was there was some old cemetery. All I wanted [was] to be able to walk to the store. Now I don't live there but there's too many stores, some apartments, and a Sunoco.

And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? [2x]

Oh, Susquehanna! [4x]

And I miss that place behind my house where I hiked and climbed and played, where I ditched this noisy century or just hid out from the decade. M-I homes thought it could stand to be updated, forced it all into a grid until it looked like the funny pages. With every trace of life, it seems, confined within a frame, the faces move from day to day but the strips all look the same. And the punch lines are resoundingly unfunny for those trapped in this architecture of easy money.

And I feel like this could all come to no good. The kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stood beneath those cookie cutter houses: fields and streams and woods. They'll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive them out of this boring neighborhood.

Oh, Susquehanna! [4x]
And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? [2x]

NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY MUSIC. THIS IS PROPERTY OF DEFIANCE OHIO.

@vasqj2 It's sad that you're so easily affected by benign and petty arguments (that's how it's spelled f.y.i.)

[SeedsAreUs]

I can listen to this all day.

[Simonkingston182]

Anthem for kids that live in boring, dead end towns. Im assuming they all come from some lonely boring conservative town in Ohio.

[ujusttodambugly]

im one of those kids living in those superficial culdesacs.... i wish my life could be like the kid's in this song.

[imchris5000]

this reminds me of growing up at around 8 years old they started building subdivisions. I would ride my dirtbike a half mile down old trails to see the construction. now all the woods are gone and turned to the ugly cookie cutter houses. I miss those miles of woods.

[Rydermang]

I'm listening to this while watching the sun rise. It makes me want to stop writing this argumentative essay, stand up, put on my coat, and walk endlessly along railroad tracks. Just because.
