Ohio to Erie Trail Song Lyrics:

There’s a trail that I know

Weaving its way across

this great state, Ohio

Hearty and Hale

In my mind, I can see

The way our forefathers imagined this country to be

As they dug canals and laid down the rails

Welcome aboard the Ohio to Erie Trail

Take the ride of your life

Bring the whole family along for a leisurely hike

Go as slow as a snail

Take your time, look around

Hear the sweet sound of birds in the air

And the buzz on the ground

in the wildflower veil

Find it all down at the Ohio to Erie Trail

So pump up your tires

Lace up your shoes

Strap on your skis and

Discover your muse

Our children will grow up

And always have known,

You can cross this whole state

and hardly touch a main road

We’ll write a new story

We’ll tell a new tale

We’re bound for glory

The Ohio to Erie Trail

Prairie path lined with trees

Watching the corn and the soybeans sway in the breeze

Family Farms, Golden Hay Bales

Pass through towns you never knew

Skyscrapers rising surprise you from out of the blue

Where we will regale

the joy in the journey

The Ohio to Erie Trail

So pump up your tires

Lace up your shoes

Strap on your skis and

Discover your muse

Our children will grow up

And always have known,

You can cross this whole state,

hardly touch a main road

We’ll write a new story

We’ll tell a new tale…

Ed Honton’s vision it will prevail

Welcome aboard the Ohio to Erie Trail
