There's a road outside Columbus, Ohio
Feels like I drove along for years
this Midwest way of ease it surrounds us
I can't deny the rhythm here
And as I pull away from Riverside beside me,
That High Street never looked so good
I miss my lady even though she often writes me
She tells me takes of my neighborhood

Surprise, Surprise, I traveled here
Four hundred miles from where I'm known
My friends are here
A couple years I've spent, I found I have a second home

As I'm blazing down my trail to education,
There's no bliss in ignorance for me
I stop and stare, a breath of air might slow me down some
But that's just fine with me

Surprise, Surprise, I traveled here
Four hundred miles from where I'm known
My friends are here
A couple years I've spent, I found I have a second home

I never traveled far
Two hundred miles to go
That boulevard will take me home

Surprise, Surprise, I traveled here
Four hundred miles from where I'm known
My friends are here
A couple years I've spent, I found I have a second home
Surprise, Surprise, I traveled here
Four hundred miles from where I'm known
My friends are here
A couple years I've spent, I found I have a second home
